Cylindrical Mirrors – Uniaxial Focusing & Beam Shaping for Laser Systems
Description:
Cylindrical Mirrors have a cylindrical reflective surface, which focuses or diverges light along a single axis while leaving orthogonal rays unaffected. This uniaxial behavior makes them ideal for laser line generation, beam shaping, and optical scanning applications where one-dimensional control of light propagation is required.
Materials:
BK7: Standard optical glass for VIS-NIR applications
Fused Silica: High UV transmittance and laser damage resistance for UV and high-power lasers
Borosilicate Glass: Cost-effective option for industrial applications
Key Features:
Uniaxial focusing/divergence without astigmatism
High reflectivity across target wavelength bands
