LJ1105L2-C In Stock

The LJ1105L2-C by ThorLabs is an exceptional plano-convex cylindrical lens that offers a range of benefits for applications requiring magnification in one dimension. Made from high-quality N-BK7 glass, the LJ1105L2-C features an anti-reflective coating that effectively reduces the amount of light reflected from each surface, making it ideal for use in a wide range of optical systems.

With a positive focal length of 80.0 mm and a focal length tolerance of ±1%, the LJ1105L2-C lens offers precise control over the behavior of light, allowing for optimal performance in a variety of settings. This lens acts symmetrically in one dimension on an incident ray, making it ideal for use in anamorphic shaping of a beam. In addition, a positive cylindrical lens pair can be utilized in order to circularize and collimate a laser diode output. Another potential application would be to focus a diverging beam with a single LJ1105L2-C lens onto a detector array. To achieve a sharper focus with minimal aberrations, collimated light should be used when attempting to concentrate the light into a line using a curved surface. Additionally, incident on the plano surface when collimating should be the light from a line source.
