K9 Ball Lens

SO-L27 K9 ball lenses offer compact positive power for fiber coupling, diode-laser collimation, endoscopy, compact sensors and educational optical assemblies. Their spherical form enables short focal lengths and small package sizes without a conventional lens edge.

Product Overview

Configure K9 Ball Lens around focal geometry and coating

Select the ball diameter in relation to the beam or fiber numerical aperture, then use focal length and back focal length to set source spacing. Because working distances are short, mount concentricity and axial positioning require close control.

Uncoated K9 ball lenses are economical for prototyping; reflection losses should be included in the coupling budget.

Optical behavior

Select the ball diameter in relation to the beam or fiber numerical aperture, then use focal length and back focal length to set source spacing. Because working distances are short, mount concentricity and axial positioning require close control.

Selection and integration

Uncoated K9 ball lenses are economical for prototyping; reflection losses should be included in the coupling budget.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
