Ball lenses are used in fiber optic technology to optimize the illumination characteristics of the fiber. Depending on the geometry of the light source, these lenses are used to focus or collimate light. This is why they are used in endoscopes and other medical applications, for example. The rounding of the ball lens also reduces the risk of injury during examination.
Upon request, LASER COMPONENTS can melt ball lenses onto the end surfaces of silica fibers in various diameters. The fiber geometry must be taken into account here as a basis. Our technology supports fiber diameters of 200, 365, 400, 550, and 600 µm. Of course, you can also order assembled fibers with ball lenses as a finished OEM product from us.
All fibers are processed and sterilely packed according to ISO 13485. Thus, they meet all hygiene requirements for medical technology.
