Frequently Asked Questions

Plano-Concave Cylindrical Lenses are used in applications that require one dimensional shaping of a light source.

Pairs of cylindrical lenses may be used to anamorphically shape images.

To minimize the introduction of aberration, the curved surface of the lens should face the source when used to diverge a beam.

The focal length tolerance of Plano-Concave Cylindrical Lenses is ±1%.

Yes, Plano-Concave Cylindrical Lenses can be coated with MgF2 to protect the surface or AR coated to increase the transmission.
