Optical Rod Lenses

04 Aug 2025

Designed for use in a variety of laser and imaging systems, rod lenses are available in a range of micro sizes for integration into a host of OEM applications. Custom sizes, variations in polishing/ground surfaces and additional coatings are available upon request.

Yutai's Rod Lenses are polished on the circumference and ground on both ends. Optical performance is similar to a cylinder lens. Collimated light passing through the diameter of the rod lens will be focused into a line. N-BK7 and UV Fused Silica substrates are available for a variety of UV, Visible and NIR applications.

What are the applications of rod lenses?

Laser technology: for focusing or collimating laser beams.
Fiber optic communication: coupling optical signals in optical fibers.
Imaging systems: for imaging in devices such as endoscopes.
Sensors: for light transmission and focusing in optical sensors.

What materials can Yutai Optics process for rod lenses?
Yutai Optics processing rod lens materials are: BK7, fused silica, sapphire and other optical glass and some infrared materials, such as silicon.
