L-BAL045 2 mm Dia. N-SF8 Ball Lenses Uncoated

The L-BAL045 is a 2 mm diameter Ball Lens, sourced from the renowned optical component vendor, Ross Optical. This lens, designed with a circular base shape, is part of their extensive catalog of simple lenses.

The lens is made from N-SF8, a high-quality optical glass material produced by Schott. N-SF8 is known for its excellent optical properties, including a high Abbe number, making it an ideal choice for applications that require high precision and low dispersion.

The L-BAL045 is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers applied to its surface to alter its optical properties. This can be beneficial in certain applications where the natural properties of the glass are desired, or where cost is a significant factor. However, it's important to note that uncoated lenses can be more susceptible to environmental factors such as dust, dirt, and moisture, which can affect their performance.

This lens is designed to work with a wavelength of 587.6 nm, which is within the visible light spectrum. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to, imaging systems, beam shaping, and laser applications.
