LB1 1 mm Dia. LASFN9 Spherical Ball Micro Lenses; EFL=0.55 mm Uncoated

The LB1 1 mm Dia. LASFN9 Spherical Ball Micro Lenses are precision optical components designed for a wide range of applications. Sourced from the renowned vendor MKS/Newport, these lenses are known for their exceptional quality and performance.

These ball lenses feature a base shape of a perfect circle, with a diameter of 1 mm, making them ideal for use in compact optical systems. The effective focal length (EFL) of these lenses is 0.55 mm, which is a crucial parameter in determining the lens's focusing power and overall optical performance.

The LB1 lenses are made from LASFN9 Schott, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties and chemical resistance. The material ID [lasfn9 schott] indicates that these lenses are made from this specific type of glass.

The wavelength of these lenses is 587.6 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This makes them suitable for use in applications where light transmission within the visible range is required.

Notably, these lenses are uncoated, meaning they do not have any additional layers of material applied to their surfaces. While coatings can enhance certain optical properties, such as reducing reflection or increasing transmission, uncoated lenses offer their own advantages, including simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and the absence of potential coating-induced aberrations.
