A Plano-Concave Cylindrical Lens is a specialized optical lens component with a columnar shape, featuring one plane side and one concave side. These lenses have an inward bent curve, contributing to a negative effective focal length (EFL). They perform best at infinite absolute conjugate ratios and become less advantageous when below 5:1. Unlike spherical plano-concave lenses that diverge light in two dimensions, plano-concave cylindrical lenses expand light beams along a single one-dimensional axis.

Features:
- Precise Light Control: Ideal for applications requiring accurate light shaping and modulation.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of optical instruments and devices.
- High-Quality Materials: Made from premium optical materials ensuring high performance.
- Ample Inventory: Extensive stock ensures quick availability and diverse options.
Applications:
- Beam Transformation: Transforms two-dimensional light beams into one-dimensional lines. For instance, when a collimated laser beam is projected onto the concave side of the lens, it stretches and magnifies the beam into a thin line on the image side.
- Slit Coupling: Ideal for coupling into slit inputs and one-dimensional image stretching.
- Laser Scanners: Enhances the performance of laser scanning systems by providing precise light modulation.
- Spectroscopy: Improves spectral analysis by effectively shaping and controlling light beams.
- Dye Lasers: Optimizes laser beam quality for various applications.
- Acousto-Optics: Enhances the performance of acousto-optic devices by precise light beam control.
- Optical Processors: Provides accurate light shaping for various optical processing tasks.
- Astigmatism Correction: Corrects astigmatism and the elliptical shape of laser beams, especially from edge-emitting laser diodes, resulting in a circularized and balanced beam with high beam quality.
