Description:
A Plano Convex Cylindrical Lens is, in essence, a transparent cylinder with one flat surface and one extruding curved surface, which contributes to a positive focal length. The fundamental function of the plano-convex cylindrical lens is to condense a matrix of laser beams, when the matrix of laser beams needs to be focused inside a detector, the PCX cylindrical lens compresses the matrix into a single line. This trait also helps plano-convex cylindrical lenses to modulate the aspect ratio of the image. Just like its plate plano-convex lens cousin, a plano-convex cylindrical lens performs best at infinite absolute conjugate ratios, and becomes disadvantageous when the conjugate ratios are below 5:1. What discriminates a plate PCX and a cylindrical PCX are that the former diverges lights in two dimensions, the later expands light beam in one.The prior function of Plano-convex cylindrical lenses is making a two-dimensional light beam become a linear laser line, another fundamental use of Plano-convex cylindrical lenses is anamorphic beam shaping.
N-BK7 or its equivalent known as H-K9L is a ROHS-compliant borosilicate crown glass with superior optical excellence and the glass is fine annealed and polished to tight tolerances to meet the demanding tolerances. The most attractive advantages of N-BK7 are its high optical homogeneities and high transmission to VIS and NIR spectra. Besides, the hardness, chemical and thermal resilience of N-BK7 are also remarkable, it contains low levels of inclusions and bubbles, therefore N-BK7 is excellent for making high-precision optical lenses.
Hangzhou Shalom EO offers stocked N-BK7 Plano-Convex Cylindrical Lenses. The various focal lengths range from 4mm to 1000mm, while the dimensions also come in diversities to accommodate your requirements. Standard coating options include 350-650nm, 650-1050 nm, and 1050-1580nm anti-reflection coatings to elevate the transmission of the lens substrate, while uncoated and custom coating bandwidths could all be tailored through inquiries. With unceasing devotion and engineering intelligence, Shalom EO has earned credits among researchers and clients around the globe. Before shipment, the cylindrical lenses will undergo a stringent in-house inspection in our clean room using Zygo interferometers and other equipment to secure your interest.
Besides the off-the-shelf PCV cylindrical lens made from N-BK7, we also provide custom Plano-convex cylindrical lenses made from a portfolio of other materials including Fused Silica, CaF2, BaF2, MgF2, ZnSe, etc. With BBAR coatings, V-coatings, and cheaper MgF2 AR coatings.
