Product Details

Sapphire and Ruby Half-Ball Lenses feature a very short back focal length with the convenience of a flat surface for easy mounting. Sapphire features a high index of refraction and excellent broadband transmission characteristics. Ruby half-ball (hemispherical) lenses are easier to see and, therefore, easier to handle for physical applications. Sapphire and Ruby Half-Ball Lenses are very chemically stable and are great for severe environments, high-temperature applications, and applications requiring high melting points. Typical applications include fiber communication, endoscopy, microscopy, optical pick-up devices, and laser measurement systems.

I am trying to determine whether it is possible to use a reversed lens to defocus a collimated beam into a ball lens in order to increase the BFL of the ball lens. What formulas would I need to use to calculate the lens required and its position?
