Diffraction Limited Design

Ideal for Creating Thin Line Profiles of Monochromatic Light Sources

Focus Light in Single Dimension

Acylinder Lenses are similar to aspheric lenses in that they provide diffraction-limited focusing performance in only one dimension. By reducing spherical aberration along the focusing axis, Acylinder Lenses are ideal for creating thin line profiles. Compared to standard cylinder lenses,Acylinder Lenses also dramatically reduce the spot size of monochromatic light sources to provide sharp, thin lines.
