What is a Half Ball Lens?
A half ball lens is a precision optical component formed by cutting a ball lens into two equal halves. Its hemispherical shape provides excellent light focusing and fiber coupling performance while minimizing spherical aberration in compact optical systems.
Why Choose an Optical Half Ball Lens?
Half ball lenses offer efficient optical coupling, low insertion loss, and high transmission efficiency. They are widely used in fiber optic communication, laser systems, optical sensors, medical devices, and precision photonic equipment where compact size and stable optical performance are essential.
