Where to buy cylindrical lenses

Top-level product category: optical components and devices

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

More general product categories: lenses

Some aspects to consider before buying cylindrical lenses: available focal lengths, optical materials and sizes, material quality, spherical or aspheric options, coating options, thermal stability, compatibility with optical systems, ease of integration, alignment precision.

With its comprehensive resources, RP Photonics helps you to well prepare purchase decisions:

Cylindrical lenses have different focusing properties in the x and y directions. They can be used to generate elliptical beams, transform elliptical beams into circular beams, or create a line focus. These lenses are essential in applications requiring precise beam shaping and control.

106 suppliers for cylindrical lenses are listed in the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide, out of which 12 present their product descriptions. Both manufacturers and distributors can be registered.

The Future Depends on Optics

Edmund Optics
101 East Gloucester Pike
Barrington, NJ
United States

Edmund Optics selection of cylinder lenses include achromatic, acylinder, plano-convex, or plano-concave. Achromatic cylinder lenses provide additional color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration. Hybrid acylinder lenses are ideal for color correction, in addition to minimizing spherical aberration. Edmund Optics offers cylinder lenses with glass or plastic substrates, or with circular, rectangular, or oblong dimensions. Multiple anti-reflection coating options are available from the ultraviolet to the infrared, including UV-AR, UV-VIS, MgF2, VIS-NIR, VIS 0°, or NIR I. Edmund Optics offers full prescription data, in addition to 2D or 3D models.

810 E St Paul St.
Litchfield, MN
United States

IRD Glass manufactures cylindrical optics, both convex and concave, from numerous substrate materials and with optical coatings like high laser damage threshold or anti-reflection coatings. Custom solutions are available in less time than from competitors, while still offering competitive pricing.

We use custom centering equipment to locate the center of curvature and custom ripple-checking equipment to ensure form and flatness of curves. Our machining, polishing, and grinding capabilities produce radii less than 2 mm or greater than 125 mm.

US-22
North Plainfield, NJ

As the name suggests, a cylindrical lens or cylinder lens is an optical lens with a cylindrical or semi-cylindrical shape. Like a spherical lens, a cylindrical lens has one curved and one flat side. Unlike a spherical lens, however, cylindrical lenses aren&#;t fully symmetrical &#; the orientation of a cylindrical lens affects how it transmits light.
