Zoolied Cylinder Lens production has the following advantages: high-quality customized cylindrical lenses suitable for all ultraviolet to infrared applications, prototype production through mass production quantities, high concentricity, support for custom sizes, and excellent image quality. Zoolied is committed to manufacturing high-precision cylindrical lenses from rapid proofing to mass production. Our lenses are made of BK7, fused silica and other glass materials. What is a Cylindrical Lens? A Cylindrical Lens is a lens that focuses light on a line instead of a point, such as a Spherical Lens . One or more curved surfaces of the Cylinder Lens is part of the cylindrical surface, and the image through the cylindrical lens is focused into a straight line parallel to the lens surface and intersecting the tangent plane. The lens compresses the image in the direction perpendicular to this line and keeps it in the direction parallel to it (in the tangent plane). In a light sheet microscope, a cylindrical lens is placed in front of the illumination objective to produce a light sheet for imaging. The cylindrical lens focuses or expands light on only one axis. They can be used to focus light into thin lines in optical metrology, laser scanning, spectroscopy, laser diode, acousto-optic, and optical processor applications. They can also be used to expand the output of a laser diode into a symmetrical beam. Cylindrical lenses are widely used in communication applications such as wireless sensors, 40G/100G modules, and laser applications such as pump laser modules.
