Product Information Wide variety of custom-made lenses Cylindrical lenses have a spherical radius in one direction. This enables the light to be focused in one axis, this allowing a point of light to be stretched into a single line. Bar code scanning and laser projection are among the applications for cylindrical lenses can be used in a variety of different applications, including Product Examples: • Lenses plano-convex/plano-concave circular • Lenses plano-convex/plano-concave rectangular • Meniscus lenses • Lenses bi-convex/bi-concave Advantages • SCHOTT masters the entire value chain and leverages its reliable product portfolio to produce customized cylindrical lenses • High quality, custom designed cylindrical optics • Customized coatings • Wide variety of tools available for manufacturing lenses with different radii • Expertise in machining difficult glass types • Close curvature tolerance can be maintained despite low thicknesses • High precision radii can be achieved
