46-225 0.50 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 46-225 0.50 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated are precision optical components designed for a wide range of applications. Sourced from the renowned vendor Edmund Optics, these lenses are known for their exceptional quality and performance.

These ball lenses are made from Ruby Doped Sapphire, a material with the Al2O3 Mal-1972-N-O material ID. This material is chosen for its unique properties, which include a high refractive index and excellent transmission characteristics, particularly in the visible light spectrum. The wavelength of 587.6 nm indicates the specific range of light that these lenses are designed to handle.

The lenses have a base shape of a circle, with a diameter of 0.5 mm. The geometry of the lenses is defined by their inner radius of 0 mm and an outer radius of 0 mm, which is typical for ball lenses. The 'Ball Lens' shape indicates that these lenses have a spherical surface on both sides, which provides a wide field of view and minimal optical aberrations.

Notably, these lenses are uncoated. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or providing other benefits, uncoated lenses can offer advantages in certain applications, such as simplicity, cost-effectiveness, or specific optical properties.

The lenses are currently in stock and available for immediate use. For more information, please refer to the vendor's website, which is provided in the item data.
