$$ \text{NA} = \frac{2 \, d \left(n - 1 \right)}{n \, D} $$

$$ d = \frac{n \, D}{4 \left(n - 1 \right) \sqrt{ \frac{ \left( \frac{1}{\text{NA}} \right)^2 - 1 }{4} } } $$

$$ \text{EFL} = \frac{n \, D}{4 \left( n - 1 \right)} $$

$$ \text{BFL} = \text{EFL} - \frac{D}{2} $$

Identify a compatible pair of ball lenses for coupling light from one optical fiber into another using the numerical aperture of each fiber, the ball lens material, and the ball lens diameter. Identical ball lenses are used when coupling light from one fiber optic to another fiber optic of similar NA, but different ball lenses may be needed when coupling light between fibers of different NA. The ball lens output NA must be less than or equal to the NA of the second fiber in order to maximize throughput.
