49-562 4.00 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Half-Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 49-562 is a 4.00 mm diameter Ruby Doped Sapphire Half-Ball Lens, uncoated, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens, with its unique half-ball shape, is designed for specific optical applications where a curved, refractive surface is required.

The lens is made from high-quality Ruby Doped Sapphire, a material with the Al2O3 Mal-1972-N-O material ID. This material is known for its excellent optical properties, making it suitable for use in a wide range of applications. The lens has a diameter of 4.00 mm and a thickness of 2.00 mm, providing a compact yet effective optical solution.

The half-ball shape of the lens, with an inner radius of 0 and an outer radius of 0, provides a curved surface for refraction. This shape, combined with the lens's material, allows for precise control over light paths, making it ideal for use in applications such as beam shaping, focusing, and collimation.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface. This can be beneficial in certain applications where a specific coating is not required or desired. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, and may not perform as well in high-intensity light applications.
