The L-BAL070 is a 3 mm diameter Ball Lens, part of the extensive catalog offered by Ross Optical. This particular lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type in the optical industry, known for its excellent optical properties and versatility.
The N-BK7, or Schott glass, is a borosilicate crown glass that offers a high refractive index and low dispersion. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
The Ball Lens geometry, with its symmetric spherical shape, provides excellent light gathering capabilities and a wide field of view. The lens's diameter is 3 mm, making it suitable for compact systems where space is a constraint.
The lens is uncoated, which means it does not have any additional layers to enhance its optical properties. However, uncoated lenses can be advantageous in certain applications where cost, simplicity, or specific optical characteristics are important.
