Where to Buy Rod Lenses

Knight Optical’s rod lenses are available in four varieties; plain, 45º type, laserline generator and graded-index (GRIN) type. Our plain range of Lenses can be manufactured in borosilicate (or equivalent) substrates for the visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, or UV-grade fused silica for applications working in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum – down to 185 nm. 45º type, laserline generator and graded-index (GRIN) types are available as custom-made optics only.

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.

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.
