Popular Bk7 Diameter 74mm Anti-reflection Coating Optical Glass Plano-convex Cylindrincal Lens

Short Description:

A Cylindrical lens is a special type of cylinder lens, and is highly polished on the circumference and ground on both ends. Cylindrical lenses perform in a manner analogous to a standard cylinder lens, and can be used in beam shaping and to focus collimated light into a line. Cylindrical lenses are optical lenses which are curved only in one direction. Therefore, they focus or defocus light only in one direction, for example in the horizontal direction but not in the vertical direction. As for ordinary lenses, their focusing or defocusing behavior can be characterized with a focal length or its inverse, the dioptric power. Cylindrical lenses can be used to obtain a beam focus of elliptical form. That can be required, for example, for feeding light through the entrance slit of a monochromator or into an acousto-optic deflector, or for conditioning pump light for a slab laser. There are fast axis collimators for diode bars, which are essentially cylindrical lenses – often with an aspheric shape. Cylindrical lenses cause astigmatism of a laser beam: a mismatch of focus position for both directions. Conversely, they can also used for compensating astigmatism of a beam or an optical system. For example, they may be required for collimating the output of a laser diode such that one obtains a circular non-astigmatic beam. The main significance of a cylindrical lens is its ability to focus light onto a continuous line rather than a fixed point. This quality gives the cylindrical lens various unique abilities, such as laser line generation. Some of these applications simply aren’t possible with a spherical lens.

• Correcting astigmatism in imaging systems.
• Adjusting the height of an image.
• Creating circular, rather than elliptic, laser beams.
• Compressing images to one dimension.
The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. Lens focal length tells us the angle of view—how much of the scene will be captured—and the magnification—how large individual elements will be. The longer the focal length, the narrower the angle of view and the higher the magnification.
Cylindrical lenses find use in a wide range of industries. Common applications for cylindrical optical lenses include detector lighting, bar code scanning, spectroscopy, holographic lighting, optical information processing and computer technology. Because applications for these lenses tend to be highly specific, you may need to order custom cylindrical lenses to achieve the desired results.

Specifications

Standard Cylindrical PCX Lens:
Positive cylindrical lenses are ideal for applications requiring magnification in one dimension. A typical application is to use a pair of cylindrical lenses to provide anamorphic shaping of a beam. A pair of positive cylindrical lenses can be used to collimate and circularize the output of a laser diode. Another application possibility would be to use a single lens to focus a diverging beam onto a detector array. These H-K9L Plano-Convex Cylindrical lenses are available uncoated or with one of three anti-reflection coatings: VIS (400-700nm); NIR (650-1050nm) and SWIR(1000-1650nm).
