46-118 0.79 mm Dia. Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 46-118 0.79 mm Dia. Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated are precision optical components designed for a wide range of applications. These lenses are sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor known for its high-quality optical elements.

The lenses feature a ball shape with a diameter of 0.79 mm, making them suitable for use in compact optical systems. The base shape is circular, ensuring uniform light transmission and minimal distortion. The geometry of these lenses is designed to provide excellent optical performance, with an inner radius of 0 and an outer radius of 0.

These sapphire ball lenses are made from a high-quality aluminum oxide (Al2O3) material, specifically mal-1972-n-o. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, including high transparency and resistance to scratching and wear. The wavelength of these lenses is 587.6 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum.

Notably, these lenses are uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of optical elements by reducing reflection and increasing transmission, uncoated lenses offer certain advantages, such as lower cost and simplicity. They are also suitable for applications where coatings may not be necessary or desirable.
