Kingwin Optics’ Rod Lenses are specialized optical lenses shaped like a round rod, designed to focus collimated beams into one dimension. These lenses are crafted with precision, where the circumference is polished to ensure optimal light transfer, while the two flat ends, though not directly involved in optical processing, can also be ground if required.

Kingwin Optics offers a series of custom Rod Lenses tailored to meet specific requirements. Made from various optical materials such as UV-fused silica and N-BK7, our rod lenses exhibit transmission ranging from UV to NIR. With industrial-grade polished surface quality (60/40 S/D), they are suitable for a wide range of applications, including endoscope lenses, light pipes, and laser processing lenses.
We also provide custom coating options for our rod lenses to further enhance their performance. These include uncoated substrates, Broadband Anti-reflection (BBAR) coatings that effectively reduce reflection (average reflection below 0.5%) over a certain wavelength range, laser line V-coatings that provide higher transmission (average reflection below 0.25%) at a narrower range around a certain wavelength, and MgF2 AR coatings (average reflection below 1.5%) at a competitive low price. Choose Kingwin Optics’ Rod Lenses for high-quality, reliable, and customizable optical solutions.
