Overview: The Plano Convex Cylindrical Lens is also identified as positive
cylindrical lens. They are ideal for applications requiring
magnification in one dimension. While spherical lenses act
symmetrically in two dimensions on an incident ray, cylindrical
lenses act in the same manner but only in one dimension. A typical
application is to use a pair of cylindrical lenses to provide
anamorphic shaping of a beam. A pair of positive cylindrical lenses
can be used to collimate and circularize the output of a laser
diode. Another application possibility would be to use a single
lens to focus a diverging beam onto a detector array. To minimize
the introduction of spherical aberrations, collimated light should
be incident on the curved surface when focusing it to a line, and
light from a line source should be incident on the plano surface
when collimating.
