Rod lenses made from BK7, UV-grade fused silica or other types of optical glass, with minimum diameter of 0.6 mm, roundness error down to 0.005 mm and diameter tolerance down to 0.01 mm. Customized rod lenses are available upon requests.
Optical performance is similar to a cylinder lens. Collimated light passing through the diameter of the rod lens will be focused into a line.
Designed for use in a variety of laser and imaging systems, these components are available in a range of micro sizes for integration into a host of OEM applications.
