L-BAL130 8 mm Dia. N-LASF9 Ball Lenses Uncoated

The L-BAL130 is an 8 mm diameter Ball Lens, sourced from the renowned optical component manufacturer, Ross Optical. This particular model boasts a Schott N-LASF9 material composition, which is well-known for its excellent optical properties.

The Ball Lens, also known as a spherical lens, is a type of lens that has spherical surfaces on both sides. The L-BAL130, with its 8 mm diameter, is designed to focus or disperse light in a radial pattern, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including imaging systems, illumination systems, and beam shaping applications.

The lens is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to its surface. While coatings can enhance the performance of lenses by reducing reflections, increasing transmission, or providing protection against environmental factors, uncoated lenses like the L-BAL130 can offer advantages such as lower cost and simplicity.

The item data indicates that this lens is designed for a wavelength of 587.6 nm. This wavelength falls within the visible light spectrum, suggesting that the L-BAL130 could be used in applications where the manipulation of visible light is required.
