The 67-380 1.00 mm Dia. UVFS 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 characterized by their base shape, which is circular, providing a symmetrical optical path. The lens has a diameter of 1.00 mm, making it suitable for use in compact optical systems. The geometry of the lens, including the inner and outer radii, is optimized for efficient light transmission and minimal aberration.
The lens is made from UVFS (UV Fused Silica), a high-quality material known for its excellent optical properties. This material is particularly suitable for applications involving ultraviolet light, as it has a high transmission rate in this region of the spectrum. The material ID for this lens is UVFS Mal-1965, providing a clear identifier for this specific type of UVFS.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is in the yellow-orange region of the visible spectrum. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including spectroscopy, imaging, and beam shaping.
Notably, these lenses are uncoated, meaning they do not have any additional layers applied to their surfaces. This can be advantageous in certain applications where a natural lens surface is preferred, or where the additional cost or complexity of coatings is not warranted. However, it should be noted that uncoated lenses may be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust and moisture, and may have slightly lower transmission rates compared to coated lenses.
