46-227 1.59 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 46-227 is a 1.59 mm diameter Ruby Doped Sapphire Ball Lens, uncoated, available from Edmund Optics. This lens is a type of ball lens, characterized by its spherical shape and circular base. The lens has a diameter of 1.59 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring compact optical components.

The lens is made of Ruby Doped Sapphire, a material with the material ID al2o3 mal-1972-n-o. This material is known for its high thermal conductivity, making it suitable for high-power applications. The Ruby Doped Sapphire also provides a high refractive index, which is beneficial for optical systems requiring high refraction.

The lens operates at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for applications involving visible light, such as imaging or illumination systems.

Notably, the lens is uncoated. This means it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. While this may result in a higher level of light loss due to reflection, it can also simplify the design and fabrication of optical systems, as well as reduce their cost.

The lens is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the vendor's website. For more information, please refer to the provided weblink.
