46-223 0.30 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 46-223 is a 0.30 mm diameter Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lens, uncoated, available from Edmund Optics. This lens is a type of Ball Lens, characterized by its circular base shape and spherical geometry. The lens has a diameter of 0.30 mm, with no inner or outer radius specified, indicating a symmetrical spherical design.

The lens is made from Al2O3, also known as Sapphire, and is doped with Ruby. This doping provides specific optical properties to the lens, making it suitable for specific applications. The wavelength for this lens is 587.6 nm, suggesting its use in the visible light spectrum.

Notably, this lens is uncoated. Coatings are often applied to lenses to enhance their performance by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or providing other specific optical properties. The absence of a coating in this lens could be due to various reasons, such as the specific application not requiring a coating, or the doping providing the necessary optical properties.

The lens is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the vendor's website. Detailed specifications, including MTF charts, spectral data, and drawings, are available on the product page.
