ZnSe Ball Lenses
ZnSe ball lenses for compact IR fiber coupling, laser-to-detector coupling, and short working-distance optical assemblies.
Quick Specifications
Product Description
Overview
ZnSe ball lenses are compact infrared coupling optics used to collimate, focus, and couple light between fibers, detectors, and small optical assemblies. Their short back focal length helps reduce the working distance between the lens and fiber, which is useful when the mechanical envelope is tight.
Engineering Value
For infrared systems, ZnSe provides useful transmission in the IR range while the ball geometry supports efficient coupling in compact layouts. These lenses are commonly considered for laser-to-fiber coupling, fiber-to-detector coupling, barcode scanning optics, endoscopy modules, and integrated laser systems.

Selection Notes
When selecting a ZnSe ball lens, engineers should confirm diameter, coating, working distance, coupling target, and wavelength. OPTOstokes-IROptical can review drawings or system requirements before quotation.
