Cylindrial Lenses

Cylindrical Lenses are unique optical components with curvature along only one axis, providing optical power in a single dimension while leaving the perpendicular axis unaffected. Unlike spherical lenses that focus light symmetrically, cylindrical lenses shape light into lines or sheets, making them essential for applications requiring asymmetric beam manipulation. They are widely used to correct astigmatism, circularize elliptical laser beams, and generate linear illumination patterns .
