Rod Lenses and Light Pipes
Rod lenses and light pipes are used in medical, electronics, information, agriculture and communications applications. Polishing options: all surfaces, including end faces and cylindrical surface; end faces only; or cylindrical surface only. Principle: refraction bends light as it passes through the curved surfaces or refractive-index distribution of a rod lens. Rod lenses with flat and curved side surfaces can focus parallel light to a line; lenses with graded refractive index control light propagation and convergence through index variation. Spherical-lens notes: other optical glasses from Schott, Ohara, Hoya or CDGM, UVFS from Heraeus or Corning, germanium, silicon, ZnSe, ZnS, CaF2 and sapphire are available on request. Spherical lenses with diameters from 1.0 to 300 mm can be customized. One-stop services cover visual optics, laser optics, medical optics, 5G optical communications and military optics.
