Product Introduction

The typical application of a flat-convex cylindrical lens is for one-dimensional amplification or compression. Traditional spherical lenses act symmetrically on incident light in two directions, whereas cylindrical lenses only affect light in one direction.

A typical application is using a pair of cylindrical lenses to reshape distorted beams. A pair of positive cylindrical lenses can be used to collimate and circularize the output of laser diodes. Another possible application is using a single cylindrical lens to focus a divergent beam onto a detector array. 

To minimize spherical aberration, when converging a collimated beam into a line, the collimated light should be incident on the curved surface of the lens, whereas when dealing with a collimated linear light source, the linear light source should be incident on the flat surface of the lens.
