Cylindrical lens definition: A cylindrical lens is an optical lens that has a curved surface that is only curved in one direction, which can bend or focus light in a particular direction.
TC OPtics is an excellent cylindrical lens supplier/ company, we produce different types of cylindrical lens, such as concave/convex cylindrical lens, astigmatism cylindrical lens, plano cylindrical lens and especially widely used to anamorphic compression of LD (laser diode) output beam. You are welcomed to consult the cylindrical lens price.

Cylindrical lens are widely used in laser area. Cylindrical lens, belongs to optical lens, can creat a laser line in laser marking and inspection systems. Cylindrical lenses are used to focus or expand light in a variety of laser and light-based equipment for applications, such as laser scanning optical metrology systems, laser alignment and inspection tools, and laser additive manufacturing and laser processing equipment.
Cylindrical lenses are used for a wide range of applications that require precision shaping or focusing of light in one direction only. Some examples include laser optics, barcode scanning, and optical data storage devices. They are also used in eyeglasses for correcting astigmatism.
As one of professional optical components suppliers and precision optics manufacturers, TC OPtics is your trustworthy manufacturer. Contact us for your optical lens wholesale needs.
A positive cylindrical lens focuses light in one direction, while a negative cylindrical lens spreads light in one direction.
Astigmatism means "no point focus". A cylindrical lens will cause all object light rays that fall on it to be focused to a single point because the curvature is similar regardless of the orientation. In an astigmatic situation there is a spherocylindrical lens present.
Spherical lenses curve horizontally and vertically around your face, giving the goggles a bubbled look. Cylindrical lenses curve horizontally while remaining flat vertically, giving a flat look.Imagine a sphere made out of glass and let's say we cut at any plane completely across the sphere. Now imagine that, instead of cutting a glass sphere, we cut a glass cylinder. We need to cut the cylinder with a plane parallel to its axis of rotation (that would be the longest axis).
