Rod Lenses

Rod Lenses are a special variant of cylindrical lenses in that they are complete rods where the light passes through the sides of the rod.  Rod lenses have an outside face that is polished and the ends ground.Typical uses for rod lenses would be to generate a line image from a circular laser beam. The table below gives angular lengths of the line for a 1mm diameter laser beam.We supply rod lenses both mounted and unmounted.   Specifications: Material: LEGB Body length : 16mm Max. lens thickness: 11mm Diameter: ± 10% Surface Quality: <80-50 scratch/dig   Focal Length Calculation: The focal length f required to give a desired line length L from a beam of diameter D is given by:   f = xD/L   where x is the distance to the target
