Unlike spherical lenses, cylindrical lenses act on the light beam in only one direction. LBTEK plano-concave cylindrical lenses are ideal for one-dimensional magnification applications. Typical applications include collimation with dual cylindrical lens assemblies and circularization of laser diode output beams using dual cylindrical lens assemblies. To minimize spherical aberration, when using plano-concave cylindrical lenses to diverge a collimated beam into a spot, the beam should be incident on the curved surface of the lens; when collimating a linear light source, the beam should be incident on the planar surface of the lens.
