Plano-Concave Cylindrical Lenses
- Ideal for Applications Requiring Magnification in One Dimension
- Provide Anamorphic Shaping of Images
- Used to Transform a Collimated Beam into a Line
Plano-Concave Cylindrical Lenses are optical components with one flat surface and one concave cylindrical surface. These lenses are designed to diverge light in one direction, making them ideal for applications requiring beam expansion or shaping. They are commonly used in laser systems, optical instruments, and beam-shaping applications. Our high-quality plano-concave cylindrical lenses are available in various materials, including quartz and optical glass, to meet your specific needs. Perfect for precise light manipulation in scientific and industrial settings.
