Sapphire and Ruby Ball Lenses are both made from
Al203. Ruby or Ruby-doped sap phire owes its red
color to trac es of chro mi um oxide (chromium content
for ruby balls is typically > 0,5%). While the
physical and chem i cal prop er ties are ba si cal ly the
same, their op ti cal properties are some what differ
ent. Sapphire has superior op ti cal trans mis sion
qualities. Ruby is eas i er to see and therefore easier
to handle for phys i cal ap pli ca tions.
