Ball and half ball lenses – DG

Ball Lenses are commonly used to improve signal quality in fiber coupling applications, or for use in endoscopy or bar code scanning applications. Ball Lenses feature short back focal lengths to minimize the distance needed from the Ball Lens to the optical fiber. DG 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.

Half-Ball (hemispherical) lenses are ideal for applications such as fiber communication, endoscopy, microscopy, optical pick-up devices, and laser measurement systems.
