Cylindrical lenses focus or expand light in one axis only. They can be used to focus light into a thin line in optical metrology, laser scanning, spectroscopic, 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.

Newport's UV grade fused silica precision cylindrical lenses are designed to meet the demanding requirements of laser electro-optic applications. These lenses are polished to tight tolerances to ensure minimum wavefront distortion. Tight surface quality tolerances minimize scatter and unwanted diffraction effects.

UV grade fused silica provides maximum transmission from 195–2100 nm. It will not fluoresce under UV light and is resistant to radiation. And for high-energy applications, the extreme purity of fused silica eliminates microscopic defect sites that could lead to laser damage.

These cylindrical lenses are available either uncoated or multi-layer antireflection coated, with a choice of broadband coatings or a laser line V-coating for 1064 nm.
