Applications


  • Beam Shaping: Cylindrical achromatic doublets are used to shape the beam into a line focus, which is essential for various optical setups.

  • Laser Projection: These lenses help in focusing polychromatic light in one direction, making them ideal for laser projection systems.

  • Holography: The lenses are used in holographic setups to minimize chromatic aberration and enhance image quality.

  • Chromatic Aberration Reduction: Cylindrical doublets significantly reduce chromatic aberrations, ensuring a clear and precise focus.

  • Diffraction Limited Focus: When used with monochromatic light, these lenses can create a diffraction limited focus in one direction.
