Cylindrical lenses are optical components designed to focus or expand light in one direction only. Unlike spherical lenses, cylindrical lenses have curvature in a single axis, making them ideal for beam shaping, laser line generation, imaging systems, and optical correction applications.

At Realpoo Optics, we provide high-precision custom cylindrical lenses in various shapes, dimensions, materials, and coating options to meet different industrial and scientific requirements.

Cylindrical Lens for Precision Optical Applications

Cylindrical lenses are widely used in optical systems where light needs to be focused, expanded, or shaped along one axis. They are essential components in laser systems, imaging equipment, line scanning devices, medical instruments, metrology systems, and other precision optical applications.

Realpoo Optics manufactures a wide range of cylindrical lenses with excellent optical performance, stable quality, and flexible customization capability. We can produce lenses in round, square, and rectangular shapes, with different focal lengths, sizes, edge treatments, and coating specifications according to customer drawings or application needs.

With precision processing, advanced coating technology, and strict quality inspection, we provide reliable cylindrical lens solutions for both standard and custom optical projects.

What Is a Cylindrical Lens?

A cylindrical lens is a lens with curvature in only one direction. It focuses or diverges light into a line instead of a point. This special optical property makes cylindrical lenses highly suitable for applications such as:

• laser line generation
• beam shaping
• anamorphic correction
• barcode scanning
• imaging system correction
• optical measurement systems

Cylindrical lenses can be manufactured in different forms, including plano-convex cylindrical lenses, plano-concave cylindrical lenses, double-convex cylindrical lenses, double-concave cylindrical lenses, and meniscus cylindrical lenses.
