Plano-convex cylindrical lenses are the preferred optical components for one-dimensional magnification applications. A typical use case involves employing a pair of these lenses to achieve anamorphic beam shaping.

AOS Optics’ Cylindrical Lenses are high-precision optical components with cylindrical surfaces, differing from spherical lenses by acting on incident light in a single direction only—engineered exclusively for one-dimensional light source shaping applications. Available in two core structures, plano-convex cylindrical lenses feature a positive focal length to converge incident light into a line, while plano-concave cylindrical lenses have a negative focal length for beam divergence; they are widely used to focus parallel/divergent beams into a line or adjust an image’s aspect ratio.
We offer a comprehensive range of cylindrical lenses, including plano-convex, plano-concave and positive cemented achromatic cylindrical lenses. All our cylindrical lens products can be customized with double-sided anti-reflection coatings (UV, VIS, NIR, SWIR, IR1, IR2), which drastically reduce surface reflection and boost transmittance. We also provide diverse substrate materials: H-K9L for visible/near-infrared applications, germanium/silicon/zinc selenide/calcium fluoride for infrared use, and fused silica for ultraviolet applications, perfectly matching your professional optical system demands.
