Product Family Description

  • Diffraction Limited Design
  • Ideal for Creating Thin Line Profiles of Monochromatic Light Sources
  • Focus Light in Single Dimension

TECHSPEC® Acylinder Lenses are similar to aspheric lenses in that they provide diffraction-limited focusing performance in only one dimension. By reducing spherical aberration along the focusing axis, TECHSPEC® Acylinder Lenses are ideal for creating thin line profiles. Compared to standard cylinder lenses, TECHSPEC® Acylinder Lenses also dramatically reduce the spot size of monochromatic light sources to provide sharp, thin lines.
