Ball Lenses
Ball lenses are glass spheres commonly used in fiber optics applications.Ideal for focusing light into fibers,(Figure 1)as well as fiber coupling (Figure 2). The ratio fo the collimated light input beam diameter to the ball lens diameter is defined as d/D (Figure 1). As the ratio increases, the back focal length increases.

Figure 1

when coupling light from a laser into a fiber, the choice of ball is dependent on the Numerical Aperture(NA) of the fiber and the diameter of the laser beam. The NA of the ball lens must be less than or equal to NA of the fiber to couple all of the light into the fiber.The ball lens is placd directly onto the fiber.
Figure 2(Fiber Coupler)
To couple light from one fiber to another fiber of simial NA, two identical ball lenses are used. Place the two lenses in contact with the fibers as shown above.

Drum Lenses
Drum lenses are glass spheres, ground down axially to provide a mounting surface. The ground circumference D simplifies handling issues typically associated with ball lenses.

Laser Line Generator Lenses
Our straight-line generator lenses can be used to display a uniform straight reference line for use in alignment, machine vision systems, construction and process control. In addition, the lenses may also be used on lower power lasers, (note that intensity will be diminished in normal work light and distances). On a 3.5mW laser, for example, the line would be easily visible in normal interior room light at 30 feet. Lenses are available in fan angles of 30,45and 60and are unmounted for custom applications.
