 Optical
Glass Balls
Glass balls are chemically inert, have low liquid absorption
as well as obvious optical characteristics. This makes the ideal
choice for use in certain check valves, flow meters, low speed
bearings, liquid applicators and a variety of other applications.
Sizes, tolerances and surface finishes can be customized to
meet individual customer requirements.
Optical glass balls are used as lenses are
for collimating the output of an optical fiber or laser diode
or for laser diode to fiber coupling.
