Where to Buy Rod Lenses

Knight Optical offers standard rod lenses manufactured from borosilicate. We can also provide custom rod lenses, for example manufactured from UV fused or with an applied coating.

Artifex Engineering offers custom rod lenses for various applications such as endoscopes. A wide range of substrates are available in custom sizes, specifications and coatings to suit your requirements. We look forward to your inquiry.

Designed for use in a variety of laser and imaging systems, these components are available in a range of micro sizes for integration into a host of OEM applications. Custom sizes, variations in polishing/ ground surfaces and additional coatings are available upon request.

TECHSPEC® rod lenses are polished on the circumference and ground on both ends. Optical performance is similar to a cylinder lens. Collimated light passing through the diameter of the rod lens will be focused into a line. N-BK7 and UV fused silica substrates are available for a variety of UV, visible and NIR applications.

Shanghai Optics custom rod lenses are polished on the circumference and ground on both ends. They act as a cylinder lens, focusing collimated light into a line. Our fused silica rod lens offers high transmission in the UV and through the NIR as well as a low coefficient of thermal expansion, 0.55 × 10^-6 /K.

Rod lenses perform in a manner analogous to a standard cylinder lens, and can be used in beam shaping and to focus collimated light into a line. Our rod lenses play a key part in many laser and imaging optical assemblies, and can be used for UV, visible and NIR applications.

Shalom EO offers rod lenses made from BK7, UV-grade fused silica or other types of optical glass, with minimum diameter of 0.6 mm, roundness error down to 0.005 mm and diameter tolerance down to 0.01 mm. Customized rod lenses are available upon requests.
