BK7 Rod Lens, Collimating And Focusing Rod Lens
Overview: A rod lens is a cylindrical lens which has the geometrical form of a cylinder with polished on the circumference and ground on both ends. Optical performance is similar to a cylinder lens. Rod lenses can be used, for example, for collimating a divergent beam in one dimension or for focusing light to a line.
There are also half-rod lenses, which are rod lenses cut into two equal pieces.
Rod lenses are available with different optical materials. N-BK7 and UV fused silica substrates are available for a variety of UV, visible and NIR applications.
Rod lenses can have diameters of a few millimeters, but there are also cylindrical microlenses with substantially smaller diameters. Small-diameter rod lenses are frequently used as fast-axis collimators for diode bars.
Star Optic offers custom sizes, variations in polishing/ ground surfaces and additional coatings are available upon request. We look forward to your inquiry.
