Ball Lenses are widely used for focusing and coupling light into and out of fibres. With the high refractive index of Sapphire (Al2O3) material, it yields a low spherical aberration that can be used in the range of UV from 200nm up to 5μm, and with it being one of the hardest materials they are resistant to damage. The key feature of ball lenses is their short back focal length allowing for precision coupling where size or space is a limiting factor in the system. Typically used in pairs, where one lens acts as collimator for the second to focus the light back into the coupled fibre.
We can produce ball lenses such as ZnS ball lens, fused silica ball lens, MgF2 ball lens, etc.
