L-BAL011 0.5 mm Dia. S-LAH71 Ball Lenses Uncoated

The L-BAL011 is a 0.5 mm diameter Ball Lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This particular lens is uncoated and fabricated from the S-LAH71 material, a high-quality optical glass produced by Ohara.

The Ball Lens, also known as a spherical lens, is characterized by its circular geometry. In this case, the lens has a diameter of 0.5 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring compact optical components. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a symmetrical spherical shape.

The L-BAL011 is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, a common wavelength used in various optical systems. The lens's shape, combined with its material and wavelength specifications, makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring precise light manipulation, such as imaging systems, beam shaping, or light collimation.

Please note that this lens is uncoated. While uncoated lenses can be cost-effective, they may be more susceptible to surface reflections and scattering, which can affect the overall performance of the optical system. However, uncoated lenses are often preferred in specific applications where coatings may introduce unwanted effects.
