An axicon is a precision optical element with a rotationally symmetric conical structure. It converts parallel incident light into an approximately diffraction-free Bessel beam, producing a stable annular field or hollow light tube for laser medicine, beam shaping, research experiments, and precision detection. Scysgx uses more than 260 precision processing machines and 65 specialized inspection devices in a complete in-house development and production process. Fully customized axicons are available in multiple materials, apex angles, and specifications, with antireflection, high-reflection, high-laser-damage-threshold, and other specialized coatings. Precision meets medical and research requirements, particularly for advanced medical optics such as laser corneal surgery. Axicons are core components for beam shaping and annular-beam generation. Operating principle: an axicon combines a plane surface with a conical surface. Parallel light incident normally is refracted by the cone into a line focus along the optical axis, producing a non-diffracting Bessel beam. Intensity distribution remains stable during propagation; ring diameter increases linearly with propagation distance while ring thickness remains constant, enabling long depth of field and uniform annular energy output. Axial line focusing meets special optical-path needs in laser medicine, particle manipulation, and annular processing.

Cylindrical lenses focus light in one dimension to create a line focus or reshape a light beam. They are used in optical measurement, machine vision, laser line generation, and imaging systems. VY Optics provides cylindrical lenses with different materials, surface shapes, dimensions, and optical specifications to meet individual system requirements. Material: Fused Silica Suface Quality: 60-40 CT: 1.5mm What Is a Cylindrical Lens?A cylindrical lens is an optical component that focuses or expands light in one direction. Unlike a spherical lens, it has optical power along one principal axis. This property allows the lens to form a line focus or change the shape of a light beam. Cylindrical lenses are commonly used in optical measurement, machine vision, imaging equipment, and laser optics. The right lens design depends on the required focal length, beam shape, working distance, and optical layout. How Does a Cylindrical Lens Work? A cylindrical lens has curvature along one principal direction and little or no optical power along the perpendicular direction. As a result, it changes the light distribution in one dimension while preserving a different distribution along the other axis. Depending on the lens shape and orientation, it can focus a beam into a line, expand a narrow beam, or correct an optical image in one direction. Proper alignment is important for achieving the intended optical result. How to Choose the Right Cylindrical Lens Choosing a suitable cylindrical lens starts with the optical system requirements. Consider the following parameters before placing an order. Required focal length and optical power. Plano convex or plano concave lens configuration. Lens material and operating wavelength. Physical dimensions and installation space. Surface quality, dimensional tolerances, and coating requirements. Beam size, working distance, and intended optical function. For this reason, an optical drawing or a detailed specification list is helpful when selecting or developing a cylindrical lens.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the main function of a cylindrical lens?Its main function is to focus, expand, or shape light in one dimension. It is often used to produce a line focus or control the width of a light beam. What is the difference between a cylindrical lens and a spherical lens?A cylindrical lens has optical power mainly along one principal axis. A spherical lens generally focuses or diverges light in both transverse directions. What is the difference between plano convex and plano concave cylindrical lenses?A plano convex cylindrical lens is generally used for converging light in one direction. A plano concave cylindrical lens is generally used for diverging light in one direction.

An achromatic lens can be defined as a lens which is made by a combination of two different types of lenses carrying different focal powers in a manner such that the images formed by the light of both the combined lenses are free from chromatic aberration or achromatism. Material: K9 glass, fused silica glass, SF11 glass etc. Dimension: 1mm-300mm Surface Accuracy: lambda / 10 Size Tolerance: +/-0.01mm Angle Tolerance: 30 arc seconds Coating: AR coating, non-polarizing coating, optional ,customized An achromatic lens can be defined as a lens which is made by a combination of two different types of lenses carrying different focal powers in a manner such that the images formed by the light of both the combined lenses are free from chromatic aberration or achromatism. History of achromatic lens Anatomy of an Achromatic Lens Theoretical considerations of the feasibility of correcting chromatic aberration were debated in the 18th century following Newton’s statement that such a correction was impossible (see History of the telescope). Credit for the invention of the first achromatic doublet is often given to an English barrister and amateur optician named Chester Moore Hall. Hall wished to keep his work on the achromatic lenses a secret and contracted the manufacture of the crown and flint lenses to two different opticians, Edward Scarlett and James Mann. They in turn sub-contracted the work to the same person, George Bass. He realized the two components were for the same client and, after fitting the two parts together, noted the achromatic properties. Hall used the achromatic lens to build the first achromatic telescope, but his invention did not become widely known at the time. In the late 1750s, Bass mentioned Hall’s lenses to John Dollond, who understood their potential and was able to reproduce their design. Dollond applied for and was granted a patent on the technology in 1758, which led to bitter fights with other opticians over the right to make and sell achromatic doublets. Dollond’s son Peter invented the apochromat, an improvement on the achromat, in 1763. An achromatic, also referred to as an achromat, typically consists of two optical components cemented together, usually a positive low-index (crown) element and a negative high-index (flint) element. In comparison to a singlet lens, or singlet for short, which only consists of a single piece of glass, the additional design freedom provided by using a doublet design allows for further optimization of performance. Therefore, an achromatic lens will have noticeable advantages over a comparable diameter and focal length singlet. An achromatic lens comes in a variety of configurations, most notably, positive, negative, triplet, and aspherized. It is important to note that it can be a doublet (two elements) or triplet (three elements); the number of elements is not related to the number of rays for which it corrects. In other words, an achromatic lens designed for visible wavelengths corrects for red and blue, independent of it being a doublet or triplet configuration. A single lens used to form an image will always show some chromatic aberration, that is variation of focal length with wavelength. Achromatic doublet lenses and triplet lenses correct for this as they are constructed from two or three different glass types and designed to remove first order chromatic aberration. Generally spherical aberration is reduced at the same time. Achromatical lenses are widely used to form images, for example telescope objectives, and also to focus laser beams. These quality achromats have been designed and optimised for performance and are available as positive and negative focal length types. We stock a full range of achromatical lenses from small 3mm dia up to 110mm dia to meet a range of demanding applications. Typical applications where achromatic doublet lenses are used are imaging, analysers, fibre-optic lighting, laser range finders endoscopes and borescopes. We can offer custom achromatic doublet and triplet lenses to meet your requirements or alternatively edge stock lenses for a quick turnaround, please enquire.
