Bi Concave Cylindrical Lens
Bi Concave Cylindrical Lens
Double concave cylindrical lens focus or expand light in one axis only. They can be used to focus light into a thin line in optical metrology, laser scanning, spectroscopic test, laser diode, and optical processor applications.
The Application of Cylindrical Lens
Correcting astigmatism: Aligning with the direction of astigmatism, focusing the light onto a single plane, and correcting distorted or blurry images.
Laser beam shape correction: Reconfigure the laser beam, especially in semiconductor lasers, to enhance quality and achieve a circular profile.
Spectroscopy: In spectroscopy applications (such as gratings), adjust the spatial and spectral properties of light.
Laser line scanning: Converting the laser beam into a straight line, used for 3D measurement and quality control and other use cases.
Microscopy:Improving confocal microscopy by shaping the laser beam, correcting aberrations, and enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio in fluorescence microscopes.
