Cylindrical Lens
Cylindrical lenses primarily provide one-dimensional shaping of point sources or collimated beams, enabling directional beam control for precision optics. Used in pairs, they reshape anamorphic beams. Used alone, plano-convex cylindrical lenses provide one-dimensional magnification, while concave and general cylindrical lenses convert collimated laser beams into line beams. To optimize performance and reduce spherical aberration, select the incidence orientation for the task: When focusing collimated light into a line, light should enter the curved surface. When collimating a line source, the source should illuminate the planar surface. For divergence, the concave surface should face the source. Applications include fluorescence microscopy, laser beam-shaping inspection, and spectroscopy. N-BK7 glass and UV fused-silica substrates are available, all with uncoated or anti-reflection-coated options.
