Home / Custom / Optical Components / Cylindrical Mirror / Round Cylinder Round Cylinder Lenses are typically used to focus incoming light to a line, or to change the aspect ratio of an image. Cylindrical Lenses have a single cylindrical surface that causes incoming light to be focused in only a single dimension, stretching the image. Cylinder Lenses are available with positive or negative focal lengths, ideal for laser line generation or anamorphic beam shaping to circularize laser outputs.
Optical glass such as K9, fused silica, sapphire, MgF2, silicon (Si), ZnSe, ZnS, etc. These materials possess high transmittance, low absorption, low scattering, uniform refractive index, and specific dispersion characteristics.
Precisely hemispherical. The machining precision of the center and radius of curvature of the sphere is extremely high.
The surface is precision polished to an optical grade of 10-5 to ensure image quality and reduce scattering and aberrations.
An AR coating is typically applied to the concave surface to maximize the transmittance of specific wavelengths of light (e.g. visible light) and reduce reflection loss.
