Plano-convex cylindrical lens Optosigma Corporation

We offer a selection of high precision cylindrical lenses, both positive and negative, in glass and fused silica. These lenses are well suited for applications which require magnification in one dimension only. Examples include energy collection for linear detectors or for coupling to a slit input, source generation for barcode scanners, circularization of diode laser outputs, one-dimensional image compression, and other similar applications.

Cylindrical lenses are more difficult to manufacture than spherical lenses but we take great care to ensure that the lens power is confined to a single axis and that the lenses are tightly specified so that you can use them with confidence in a complex imaging system. The lenses we offer here represent some of the more general requirements of our customers. But please call if you need a different shape or size. The lenses are uncoated but our standard anti-reflection coatings are available for these lenses.
