Nice Quality Optical Glass Plano Convex Physics Glass Cylindrical Glass Lens With AR Coating

Cylindrical Lens is a Optical Lens that focuses light on a line instead of a point. A Plano Convex Cylindrical Lens is composed of a flat surface and a convex cylindrical surface. It is often used to gather parallel or divergent light beams on a line or to change the aspect ratio of the image. The focal length is positive. A Plano Concave Cylindrical Lens is composed of a flat surface and a concave cylindrical surface, and its focal length is negative. It is often used to gather parallel or divergent light beams on a line or to change the aspect ratio of the image. In a light sheet microscope, a Cylinder Lens is placed in front of the illumination objective to produce a light sheet for imaging. The cylindrical lens focuses or expands light on only one axis. They can be used to focus light into thin lines in optical metrology, laser scanning, spectroscopy, laser diode, acousto-optic, and optical processor applications. They can also be used to expand the output of a laser diode into a symmetrical beam. Cylindrical lenses are widely used in communication applications such as wireless sensors, 40G/100G modules, and laser applications such as pump laser modules.
