Are you interested in Plano Convex Cylindrical Lens?
The Plano-Convex Cylindrical Lens is a fundamental and vital cylindrical optical element. One surface is a convex cylindrical surface, while the other is flat. This configuration enables it to converge or diverge light rays in a single direction (perpendicular to the cylindrical axis) whilst exhibiting no optical power in the direction perpendicular to this axis. This unique optical property renders it a core component in applications requiring one-dimensional beam shaping.
Working Principle and Key Parameters
The operating principle of this lens is based on the curved surface characteristics of a cylindrical surface. When parallel light strikes a convex cylindrical surface, it converges into a fine line at its focal line rather than a point (a characteristic of spherical lenses). Its primary parameters include the radius of curvature (R), lens dimensions (length and width), central thickness, and the refractive index of the optical material used (such as fused silica, BK7, etc.). The focal length (f) is jointly determined by the radius of curvature and the refractive index of the material.
Core Application Scenarios
Beam Shaping: Collimates or focuses the elliptical spot emitted by laser diodes along the fast or slow axis to form a uniform linear spot, widely employed in laser marking, cutting, and illumination systems.
Grating Spectrometers: Employed to collimate incident light onto a grating or to focus light dispersed by a grating onto a detector.
Optical Metrology: When combined with spherical lenses, enables the generation of asymmetric optical patterns or the correction of astigmatism, such as in barcode scanning and certain sensing systems.
Display technology: Employed within backlight modules to expand point light sources into line or area light sources.
A plano-convex cylindrical lens Yutai optics manufacture is used to condense light in one axis. A positive 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. Changchun Yutai optics Co.ltd is good at processing cylindrical lenses.Plano- convex cylindrical lenses are typically used for illumination of slit and line detector arrays, laser projection, laser line focussing and anamorphic beam shaping.
