Ball Lens Unit

Lens components for cost-effective modules

The Ball Lens Unit consists of an ultra-high precision ball lens (microball) or microdrum, sealed directly into a module holder or receptacle using low-melting-point glass. This sealing method enhances reliability, reduces the number of components in the optical system assembly, and simplifies the overall process.

Features

  • Easy alignment with high dimensional and optical accuracy
  • Low distortion and excellent airtightness
  • Contributes to mass production and cost reduction of various modules
  • Direct welding to metal stem as a can
  • Direct welding with fiber unit
  • Soldering to optical communication packages
