High Refractive Index Ball Lens Caps
Efficient but not exorbitant.
About
The Transistor outline caps fulfill two primary functions. First, they protect the optical components of transmission as well as reception applications. Second, they ensure the transmission of the optical signals by acting as an optical interface.SCHOTT High Refractive Index Ball Lens Caps are low-cost alternative for Aspherical lens in PON market for Laser Packaging.
