The 63-227 is a 9.53 mm diameter ball lens, part of Edmund Optics' extensive catalog of optical elements. This lens, designed for general use, is uncoated and made of sapphire, a highly durable and scratch-resistant material.
The lens's base shape is circular, with a geometry that includes an inner radius of 0 and an outer radius of 0, indicating a true ball lens. The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The lens's material ID is al2o3 mal-1972-n-o, which corresponds to sapphire. Sapphire is a corundum, a crystalline form of aluminum oxide. It is known for its hardness, surpassed only by diamond, and its excellent thermal conductivity.
The lens is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website, and more information can be found at https://www.edmundoptics.com/p/9525mm-diameter-sapphire-ball-lens/17841/.
