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.

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.

See us at SPIE Photonics West Digital Marketplace 2023, January 28 – February 2 (booths 833 and 838)!

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.

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.
