K9 Plano-Convex Cylindrical Lens

SO-L08 K9 plano-convex cylindrical lenses focus a beam in one dimension while preserving the perpendicular axis. The large model range supports laser-line generation, machine-vision illumination, slit imaging, anamorphic beam correction and general visible-light experimentation.

Product Overview

Configure K9 Plano-Convex Cylindrical Lens around focal geometry and coating

Select the rectangular or round aperture together with focal length, then check curvature, back focal length, center thickness and edge thickness. Rotational orientation determines the line-focus direction and should be constrained mechanically.

Use the curved surface toward a collimated input beam for lower aberration in the powered axis, unless the optical design specifies otherwise.

Optical behavior

Select the rectangular or round aperture together with focal length, then check curvature, back focal length, center thickness and edge thickness. Rotational orientation determines the line-focus direction and should be constrained mechanically.

Selection and integration

Use the curved surface toward a collimated input beam for lower aberration in the powered axis, unless the optical design specifies otherwise.

Need a different diameter, tolerance or coating?

Custom substrate materials, dimensions, angular tolerances and coating bands can be reviewed for prototype and production quantities.
