MOK Optics is proud to be an industry leader in the design and manufacture of custom cylindrical lenses. Specializing in both convex and concave cylindrical optics, we are committed to providing high-quality, precision-engineered lenses that meet the unique needs of our customers across a wide range of industries.
Custom Cylindrical Lenses
Cylindrical lenses are key components in a variety of optical applications, including laser systems, medical imaging, metrology instruments, and telecommunications. Unlike spherical lenses, which focus light in all directions, cylindrical lenses focus or spread light onto a single axis. This unique property makes them indispensable for applications that require beam shaping, line generation, or astigmatism correction.
At MOK Optics, we understand that every application has its own unique characteristics. As a result, our cylindrical lenses are fully customizable to meet your specific needs. Whether you need a convex cylindrical lens to focus light into a line or a concave cylindrical lens to expand light in a single direction, we have the expertise and resources to precisely meet your needs. We offer lenses in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials to ensure optimal performance in a variety of environments and conditions.
Diverse Substrate Materials for Enhanced Performance
The choice of substrate material is critical to the optical performance and durability of a lens. At MOK Optics, we offer a wide selection of high-quality materials to meet different applications and operating conditions. These materials include:
- 1. Optical Glass: Optical glass is known for its excellent clarity and minimal chromatic aberration, making it a popular choice for many general-purpose applications.
- 2. Fused Silica: Fused Silica has excellent thermal stability and resistance to UV radiation, making it an ideal choice for high-energy laser systems and UV applications.
- 3. BK7 Glass: BK7 glass is a versatile material with high transmittance in the visible spectrum and is widely used in imaging and optical instruments.
Advanced Optical Coatings for Superior Performance
To further enhance the functionality and durability of cylindrical lenses, we offer a variety of advanced optical coatings. These coatings are carefully designed to increase light transmission, minimize reflection losses, and protect lens surfaces from environmental damage. Some of our popular coatings include:
- 1. Anti-Reflective (AR) Coatings: These coatings reduce surface reflections and enhance light transmission in specific wavelength ranges. We offer anti-reflection coatings optimized for the UV, visible, and IR spectra.
- 2. High Laser Damage Threshold (LDT) Coatings: These coatings are designed for high-power laser applications and offer superior resistance to laser damage.
- 3. Hard Coatings: These durable coatings protect lens surfaces from scratches, abrasion, and chemicals.
Our advanced coating equipment ensures consistent quality and performance across all our products. By combining premium materials with advanced coating technology, we produce cylindrical lenses that perform reliably even under demanding operating conditions.
Precision Manufacturing Process
Production of high-quality cylindrical lenses requires exceptional precision and attention to detail. At MOK Optics, we use a cell-based manufacturing process that allows us to efficiently produce custom lenses while ensuring quality.
Our manufacturing process begins with advanced design software that allows us to create detailed specifications for each lens. Once the design is complete, we use advanced manufacturing equipment to shape and polish the lenses to precise dimensions. Our experienced technicians then perform rigorous quality control checks at every stage of production to ensure that each lens meets our exacting standards.
Wide Applications, Covering a Wide Range of Industries
Our custom cylindrical lenses are used in a wide range of industries and applications. For example:
- 1. Laser Systems: Cylindrical lenses are commonly used in laser systems for beam shaping, line generation, and astigmatism correction.
- 2. Medical Imaging: In medical devices such as endoscopes and optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems, cylindrical lenses enable precise imaging and diagnostic capabilities.
- 3. Metrology Instruments: Cylindrical optical components play a vital role in high-precision measurement of surface profiles, dimensions, and other parameters.
- 4. Telecommunications: In fiber-optic communication systems, cylindrical lenses help focus or expand optical signals for efficient data transmission.
- 5. Automotive Industry: Cylindrical lenses are used in head-up displays (HUDs) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to improve visibility and safety.
