  • Detailed
  • Plano concave cylindrical lenses are negativepower optical components with one flat (plano) surface and one concave cylindrical surface. They diverge collimated light along the curved axis only, leaving the orthogonal axis fully unchangeddelivering precise onedimensional beam expansion for laser diode shaping, anamorphic correction, and line beam control.

    Key Features

    • One Axis Diverging Beam Control: Diverges light into a controllable line (not a point) along a single axis, ideal for expanding elliptical laser beams and adjusting beam aspect ratio without distorting the orthogonal dimension.
    • Negative Optical Power: Provides consistent divergence for collimated or slightly converged beams; perfect for pairing with planoconvex cylindrical lenses to circularize laser diode output and correct astigmatism.
    • Aberration Optimized Geometry: Engineered to minimize spherical aberration when light hits the concave surface first, ensuring clean, uniform line profiles for highprecision metrology and imaging.
    • Broad Spectral Material Choices: Available in NBK7, UV fused silica, CaF₂, ZnSe—covering UV, visible, and infrared bands for spectroscopy, industrial inspection, and IR laser systems.
    • Custom Coatings & OEM Sizing: Supports targeted AR coatings (UV/VIS/NIR/IR) to maximize transmission; offered in standard or custom dimensions for seamless integration into laser scanners, barcode readers, and lightsheet microscopy setups.

     

    The Applications of Cylindrical Lenses
