Transparent spherical balls, crafted from glass or optical materials, serve as beam collimators for optical fibers. They facilitate signal coupling between emitters, detectors, and fibers, with applications spanning endoscopy, optical sensors, and barcode scanning. Material selection hinges on numerical aperture, with prevalent choices being UV-grade fused silica, sapphire, and BK7 glass.
