Optical Cylindrical Lens

A cylindrical optical lens is typically used to focus, condense or expand incoming light. A cylindrical optical lens has one cylindrical surface, causing light to be focussed in a single dimension or axis. It can also be used to expand the output of a laser diode into a symmetrical beam. Cylindrical optical lenses are technically more difficult to manufacture than spherical or flat lenses which is why Ecoptik (also known as BRD Optical) uses state-of-the-art polishing techniques alongside stringent lens assessment to manufacture each lens.

 

Cylindrical optical lenses are typically rectangular, square, or circular and of either a plano-convex or plano-concave design. The cylindrical optical lenses of Ecoptik (also known as BRD Optical) combine low wedge with high surface accuracy. As a leading optical components manufacturer, we assess the quality of each individual lens using Trioptics centration measurement and a Zygo GPI interferometer.  All Ecoptik lenses are available both uncoated or coated with a broad range of high durability, low loss AR coatings, and can be manufactured to 20-10 surface roughness.

 

Types Of Optical Cylindrical Lens

 

Plano Concave Cylindrical Lens

A plano-concave cylindrical lens is used to expand light in on-axis. A negative cylindrical lens is able to diverge collimated input light away from a line.  Plano-concave cylindrical lenses are used for one-dimensional compression of images, anamorphic beam shaping, and laser line generation.

  Introduction Of Optical Application Optical engineering is a long and young subject. Its theoretical basis-optics, as the backbone of physics, has experienced a long and tortuous development path, casting geometric optics, wave optics, quantum optics and nonlinear optics, revealing the law of light generation and propagation and the relationship with matter Interaction relationship. With the rise of laser technology and optoelectronic technology, optical engineering has developed to be based on precision optical products, and is integrated with disciplines such as information science, energy science, material science, life science, space science, precision machinery and manufacturing, computer science, and microelectronics technology. Closely intersecting and interpenetrating disciplines. It contains many important emerging disciplines, such as laser technology, optical communication, optical storage and recording, optical information processing, photoelectric display, holography...

Quarter-wave plate

  The 1/4 wave plate uses the anisotropic characteristics of the material to have different refractive indexes and propagation speeds for light in different polarization directions, resulting in a phase difference between the two components, and converting linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light, or converting circularly polarized light into linearly polarized light.   The 1/4 wave plate can realize the mutual conversion between linearly polarized light and circularly polarized light. Clever use of wave plates can also generate optical isolators, or simultaneously change the propagation direction and polarization direction of light.   The 1/4 wave plate can be applied to the laser. In the laser cavity, two quarter-wave plates placed on both sides of the gain medium can achieve single-frequency operation. A half-wave plate is placed between the laser crystal and the resonator mirror to reduce the depolarization loss. The combination of a half-wave plate an...
