49-565 6.00 mm Dia. Ruby Doped Sapphire Half-Ball Lenses Uncoated

The 49-565 is a 6.00 mm diameter Ruby Doped Sapphire Half-Ball Lens, uncoated, sourced from the reputable optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This lens is a unique piece of optical equipment, designed with a circular base shape and a half-ball geometry, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

The lens has a diameter of 6.00 mm, ensuring a substantial light-gathering capacity. It also features a thickness of 3.00 mm, providing adequate structural integrity for most applications. The half-ball design, characterized by an inner radius of 3.00 mm and no outer radius, is particularly useful in applications requiring a concave lens surface.

The lens is made from al2o3 mal-1972-n-o, a type of Ruby Doped Sapphire, a material known for its excellent optical properties. This material is particularly suitable for applications requiring high thermal conductivity, hardness, and chemical resistance.

The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 587.6 nm, making it suitable for applications in the visible light spectrum. Notably, the lens does not come with any coating, which may affect its performance in certain applications. However, its uncoated nature allows for greater customization, as users can apply coatings to suit their specific needs.
