Rod Lenses are cylindrical lenses are polished on the circumference and ground on both ends.
2. What are Rod lens used for?
These are used in several applications including laser focusing beam into a line, changing beam
shape into sheet-shape or irradiating at a distance with elongated line.
3. What is the standard size can be available from UNI OPTICS?

A Rod lens is a special
type of cylinder lens, and is highly polished on the circumference and
ground on both ends.The rod lenses perform in a manner analogous to a
standard cylinder lens, and can be used in beam shaping and to focus
collimated light into a line.
