43-824 4.00 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 43-824 is a 4.00 mm diameter Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lens, uncoated, available from Edmund Optics. This lens boasts a refined design, offering exceptional optical performance for a diverse range of applications.

The lens is crafted from high-quality aluminum oxide (al2o3 mal-1972-n-o), also known as sapphire, a material renowned for its exceptional hardness, durability, and resistance to scratching and wear. The Ruby doping enhances the lens's performance in specific wavelengths, making it ideal for applications requiring precise light manipulation.

The Ball Lens geometry, with its inner and outer radii of 0, ensures uniform light distribution and minimal distortion. The lens's shape further aids in achieving these optical benefits, making it a versatile component in various setups.

The lens operates at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, providing optimal performance in this region of the spectrum. Its uncoated surface ensures high light transmission while potentially reducing reflection, making it suitable for applications where minimal loss is critical.
