The L-BAL075 is a 3 mm diameter Ball Lens, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Ross Optical. This lens, with its base shape being circular, is designed to provide a high level of optical performance and versatility.
The lens is made from N-SF8, a high-quality material from Schott, which is known for its excellent optical properties. N-SF8 is a borosilicate glass with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it suitable for applications that require high thermal stability. The lens is uncoated, offering users the flexibility to apply their preferred coating based on their specific application requirements.
The geometry of the lens includes a diameter of 3 mm, with both the inner and outer radii being zero. This geometry is designed to provide a wide field of view and low distortion, making it ideal for various applications, including imaging, illumination, and beam shaping.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications that require high light transmission and clarity.
