Cylindrical & Toroidal Optics

    Prior to 1987, Cylindrical optics verification was relatively unknown.  The development of the cylindrical interferometer has made verifiability economical.  Cylinder Optics, Inc. is one of the few companies worldwide utilizing the GDC Cylindrical Interferometer Model 400-C as our primary testing equipment.

    Cylindrical Optics are used in applications requiring magnification in one dimension only, such as in transforming a point image into a line image or changing the height of an image without changing its width and vice-versa.

    Cylinder Optics, Inc. manufactures custom precision cylindrical and toroidal optics used for a variety of demanding applications.  These include code scanning, holography, optical information processing and computing, health imaging, spectographing, laser projection and the illumination of slits or linear detector arrays.

    Cylinder Optics, Inc. fabricates standard shapes of lenses & mirrors in rectangular, square and round configurations.  With the addition of our CNC capabilities, we can now offer truncated diameter parts as well as cylindrical lenses integrated into a glass mold to eliminate the use of metal or aluminum fixturing.  Cylindrical and Toroidal optics are available in plano-convex, plano-concave, bi-convex, bi-concave and concave-convex shapes.
