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 ...
