Biconic & Toroidal Optics
Simplify construction of anamorphic beam expanders or produce elliptically shaped focused spots with these versatile optics.
Biconic lenses are precision diamond-turned optics which have two different radii - which can be spherical or aspherical - on a single surface. They reduce component count and are simpler to align than systems based on multiple cylindrical lenses.

Biconic Lenses Features
- Biconic optical power can be placed on one surface which reduces component count.
- The perpendicularity of the curves is set during fabrication, making biconic lenses easier to align than two individual cylindrical lenses.
- Biconic lenses simplify design and construction of anamorphic beam expanders.
- Biconic lenses provide a simple means to obtain elliptically shaped spots and line beams.
