01 / OVERVIEW

Rod lenses for specialized optical applications

A rod lens is a cylindrical optical component designed to manipulate light through its unique cylindrical geometry. Unlike conventional spherical lenses, rod lenses provide different optical power along their diameter direction, allowing them to focus collimated light into a line or support compact imaging configurations.

Strahl Optics supports tailored rod lens configurations for endoscopic imaging and laser beam shaping. Dimensional control and surface finishing are matched to the different optical functions, while cleaning and packaging protect finished optical surfaces during handling and delivery.
