Fused silica plano-convex cylindrical lenses are ideal for UV beam shaping. Fused silica cylindrical lenses are often used to change the profile of laser beams, for example to correct for astigmatism and ellipticity in diode lasers or to generate lines form single mode lasers, as in laser line generators. We can offer custom cylindrical lenses in a range of optical glasses to meet your requirements.
Please note that we are able to supply custom fused silica cylindrical lenses for UV applications such as AR @245-400nm. For custom made cylindrical lenses, please send us drawings or specifications.
