Where to Buy Ball Lenses

All lenses are lenses having the geometrical form of a ball (sphere), which may be rather small (→ microoptics). They can be used as beam collimators for optical fibers and for fiber-to-fiber coupling, for example.

Our ball lenses feature short back focal lengths to minimize the distance needed from the ball lens to the optical fiber. Edmund Optics offers a variety of ball lenses in a range of substrates for performance in the ultraviolet to the NIR. Half-ball lenses are also available to ease mounting or system integration.
