Ball lenses are highly transparent spheres made of optical glasses. They are used to focus light into fibers as in diode laser-to-fiber coupling as well as fiber-to-fiber coupling. They have high coupling efficiency and should be much easier to align than traditional lenses due to their physical shape.
* Please note, dimensional units are as follows:
Diameter mm
Sphericity Tolerance: Microns (µm)
Diameter Tolerance: Microns (µm)
These are lenses with one flat surface and one convex surface. They have a positive focal length and are used to converge or focus incoming light. They are best for infinite conjugate systems. They can be used in many different optical systems such as magnifiers, telescopes, collimators, condensers and imaging instruments. For best optical performance, the convex side should always face the incident light.
Below are our standard specifications.

Singlets are the simplest form of optical components. Although they exhibit spherical and chromatic aberrations, they are the most readily available and least expensive way to direct energy to a specific spot. Singlets are also offered in a wide variety of coatings to meet your needs and specifications.
