Cylindrical Lens
A cylindrical lens has a cylindrical surface that enables incident light to be focused in one dimension while producing a stretching effect on the image. Its focal length can be positive or negative. Based on this characteristic, cylindrical lenses are commonly used in various scenarios: first, focusing incident light onto a line or changing the aspect ratio of an image; second, applications in laser line generation, anamorphic beam shaping, and even for annular laser output. Cylindrical lenses include the following types: plano-convex cylindrical lenses, plano-concave cylindrical lenses, biconvex cylindrical lenses, biconcave cylindrical lenses, meniscus cylindrical lenses, crossed cylindrical lenses, irregular cylindrical lenses, achromatic cylindrical lenses, reflective cylindrical lenses, freeform cylindrical lenses, special-process cylindrical lenses, etc.
