Cylindrical Lenses S1-UV Grade Fused Silica
Description
While all lenses have one or more spherical surface, the curved surface on a cylindrical lens is shaped like a cylinder. Performance is characterized by a focal line that lies parallel to the cylindrical axis. These lenses are useful in application areas, such as optical data storage and retrieval systems for imaging linear arrays, spectroscopic instrumentation for imaging slits, and other processes involving scanning techniques. Cylindrical lenses are also frequently used with lasers to generate a narrow line of light that is used for measurement or alignment. Esco manufactures a variety of standard plano-convex S1-UV Grade Fused Silica cylinder lenses. All lenses are pitch polished for precision surface quality and accuracy.

A cylindrical lens is a lens with a curved surface shaped like a cylinder, characterized by a focal line that lies parallel to the cylindrical axis.
Cylindrical lenses are useful in application areas such as optical data storage and retrieval systems for imaging linear arrays, spectroscopic instrumentation for imaging slits, and other processes involving scanning techniques. They are also frequently used with lasers to generate a narrow line of light that is used for measurement or alignment.
The specifications of Esco's plano-convex S1-UV Grade Fused Silica cylinder lenses include a focal length tolerance of +/- 3%, diameter tolerance of +/- 0.125 mm, thickness tolerance of +/- 0.5 mm, design wavelength of 546 nm, centration of <3', surface quality of 60-40 scratch-dig, and edges that are fine ground and beveled.
Plano-convex lenses are positive focal length elements that have one spherical surface and one flat surface. These lenses are designed for infinite conjugate (parallel light) use or simple imaging in non-critical applications. They are ideal for all-purpose focusing elements.
