Plano Convex Cylindrical Lens
A plano concave cylindrical lens is used to condense light in one axis. A positive plano cylindrical lens is able to create a line image from a point of light, to change the aspect ratio of an image or to focus collimated input light to a line. Plano- convex cylindrical lenses are typically used for illumination of slit and line detector arrays, laser projection, laser line focussing and anamorphic beam shaping. If you have any demand, please contact Ecoptik (also known as BRD Optical). Plano Convex Cylindrical Lens Descriptions The Plano spherical lens acts symmetrically on the incident light in both directions, while the convex cylindrical lens acts in only one direction on the incident light. A typical application is to shape a deformed beam with a pair of plano-convex cylindrical lenses. A pair of positive plano-convex cylindrical lenses can be used to collimate and round the output of the laser diode. Another possible application is to focus the diverging beam onto the
