Newport offers a wide variety of cylindrical lenses made from BK7, fused silica, and achromatic lenses from several high grade optical glasses. Cylindrical lenses offering include Plano convex in both rectangular and circular shapes, and Plano concave in rectangular shape only. Achromatic lenses are excellent focusing component to reduce the chromatic aberrations from broadband light sources used in many analytical and medical devices. Newport cylindrical lenses and achromats can be purchased with antireflection coating to maximize the transmission in UV, Visible, near IR wavelength regime.
