Rod lenses, also known as optical cylinder rods, are specialized cylindrical components used for precise light guiding and beam shaping in laser applications.
Functions:
By focusing light along a single axis, a rod lens converts a point-source laser beam into a uniform line projection emitted from its side surface, allowing precise manipulation of laser emission patterns and cross-sectional light paths.
Applications:
Laser line generators
Laser levels
Alignment systems
Line-scan inspection
Optical range finders
