LK1426L1 In Stock

The LK1426L1 by ThorLabs is the perfect solution for precise one-dimensional shaping of light sources in various applications. This plano-concave cylindrical lens is designed to efficiently turn a collimated laser into a line generator, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Constructed with high-quality N-BK7 material, the LK1426L1 offers exceptional performance and durability. With an uncoated wavelength range of 350 nm - 2.0 µm, this lens delivers reliable and consistent results across a broad spectrum of wavelengths.

One of the key applications of the LK1426L1 is anamorphic image shaping, which can be achieved by using pairs of cylindrical lenses. To ensure minimal aberration, it is recommended to position the curved surface of the lens facing the light source when used to diverge a beam, resulting in precise and high-quality performance. The LK1426L1 is designed for easy integration into standard optomechanics, thanks to its compatible cage system and lens tube. This allows for seamless integration into existing optical setups, saving time and effort in system integration. With a focal length of -24.88 mm and a focal length tolerance of ±1%, the LK1426L1 provides accurate and reliable performance for demanding applications.
