Deposition Sciences (DSI), a manufacturer of highly durable thin film optical coatings, offers IsoSphere Antireflection (AR) coated ball lenses in a variety of glass indexes and new, larger sizes
Featuring very low insertion loss, the IsoSphere ball lenses are available with antireflection coatings with transmission values of greater than 99.5 percent in indexes of up to nd2.0@550nm.
DSI now offers the highly durable, scratch-resistant AR coated ball lenses in sizes from 200microns to 10.0mm diameter.
Ideal for telecommunications and expanded beam connector applications, DSI's affordable IsoSphere line of ball lens products are a mechanically-compact optical method for collimating the output of an optical fibre or laser diode.
Versatile and practical, the IsoSphere AR coated ball lenses can be used in fibre to fibre, diode to fibre, and/or fibre to detector coupling tasks.
DSI's proprietary IsoDyn low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) technology permits a high performance, uniform optical AR coating over the entire surface of the ball lens.
This highly durable, uniform coating eliminates the need for orientation of the lens in the customer's device, thus reducing labor-intensive assembly costs.
IsoSphere AR-coated ball lenses are extremely stable over temperature and humidity, meeting the severe abrasion, adhesion, humidity, and salt fog tests of Mil-C-675 standards.
Resistant to most chemicals, DSI's ball lenses are also durably suited for aircraft, oil field exploration and refining, marine, undersea and aerospace applications.
