What are Imaging Grade PCV Cylinder Lenses?

Imaging Grade PCV Cylinder Lenses are precision optical lenses designed to focus light into a line or expand light in a single dimension.

Also, they are optimized for applications that require one-dimensional focusing or beam shaping.

The PCV type features one flat surface and one convex cylindrical surface, offering high imaging quality and low aberrations.

Optical Properties

  • Shape: Flat surface + convex cylindrical surface.
  • Focal Length: Positive, suitable for converging light in one dimension.
  • Transmission: High across UV, visible, and NIR, depending on material.
  • Image Quality: Designed for imaging applications, maintaining low aberrations.

Applications of Imaging Grade PCV Cylinder Lenses

  • Laser Line Generation

Converts collimated beams into a thin line for scanning or alignment.

  • Optical Metrology

Therefore, people often use them in systems requiring line projection or beam shaping.

  • Medical & Biomedical Devices

Imaging-grade quality ensures precision in diagnostic instruments.

  • Machine Vision & Inspection

They create high-quality line illumination for industrial vision systems.

  • Projection Systems

Optimized for one-dimensional focusing in display technologies.

 

Compared to standard lenses, imaging-grade PCV lenses provide superior surface accuracy, tighter tolerances, and higher transmission efficiency.

This makes them ideal for demanding optical systems where accuracy, resolution, and reliability are critical.

Also, Chenyu Imaging Grade PCV Cylinder Lenses are typically used to diverge collimated light in a single axis.

Therefore, people also use them for system integration.
