Description
Cylindrical lens are generally used to converge parallel or diverging beams to a line or to change the aspect ratio of an image. Cylindrical lens can be divided into two structures: plano-convex and plano-concave, both of which are used to converge or diverge beams, respectively. A wide range of materials and coatings of Cylindrical lens are available for UM OPTICS, such as CaF2, K9, UVFS, Si, Ge and ZnSE, to meet different customer needs.

Features
- Asymmetrical Surface Design: One flat surface + one convex cylindrical surface, focusing incident light into a linear beam (instead of a point) for directional light shaping
- Broad Material Compatibility: Available in CaF2,K9, fused silica, ZnSe, etc., to match UV/visible/IR wavelength requirements
- High Transmittance: Precision-polished optical surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.01μm) ensure minimal scattering loss
- Anti-Reflection (AR) Coating Option: Customizable coatings to reduce surface reflection and boost light utilization efficiency
- Tight Dimensional Tolerance: Controlled within ±0.01mm for stable integration into optical systems
- Environmental Stability: Resistant to temperature fluctuations (especially with fused silica) to avoid optical distortion
- Customizable Specifications: OEM/ODM support for size, curvature, and coating parameters
Applications
- Laser Beam Shaping: Generates linear laser beams for laser cutting, scribing, and line scanning systems
- Optical Printing & Scanning: Used in barcode readers and laser printers to shape light for clear line imaging
- Medical Imaging: Integrated into slit lamps and endoscopes to form linear light sources for tissue observation
- Industrial Metrology: Applied in profile projectors and optical comparators to project linear light for dimension measurement
- Solar Energy Systems: Focuses sunlight into linear strips for concentrated solar power (CSP) devices
- Machine Vision: Enhances line-scan camera performance in industrial automation inspection
