L-BAL030 1.5 mm Dia. N-BK7 Ball Lenses Uncoated
The L-BAL030 is a 1.5 mm diameter Ball Lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This particular lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number and low dispersion. The lens is uncoated, offering a cost-effective solution for applications where coating is not a necessity.
The lens's geometry is defined by its diameter, which is 1.5 mm. The inner and outer radii are both zero, indicating a perfect spherical shape. This spherical symmetry is a key feature of ball lenses, enabling them to collect or focus light from any direction, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, a common reference wavelength in optical systems. This wavelength falls within the visible spectrum, indicating that this lens could be used in applications involving visible light.
