Filter & Apertures

We offer a selection of high precision cylindrical lenses, both positive and negative, in
glass and fused silica. These lenses are well suited for applications which require
magnification in one dimension only. Examples include energy collection for linear
detectors or for coupling to a slit input, source generation for barcode scanners,
circularization of diode laser outputs, one-dimensional image compression, and other
similar applications.
Cylindrical lenses are more difficult to manufacture than spherical lenses but we take
great care to ensure that the lens power is confined to a single axis and that the lenses
are tightly specified so that you can use them with confidence in a complex imaging
system. The lenses we offer here represent some of the more general requirements
of our customers. But please call if you need a different shape or size. The lenses are
uncoated but our standard coatings may be applied by choice of the appropriate coating
suffix (see pages 18 and 19).
