The CKX150AR.18 Plano-Convex Cylindrical Lens is a 1000 to 1550 nm anti-reflection coated, 2 inch (50.8 mm) length by 2 inch (50.8 mm) width, BK 7 plano-convex cylindrical lens with an effective focal length of 150 mm. It is designed to meet the demanding requirements of laser electro-optic applications. Newport's BK 7 precision cylindrical lenses are manufactured from fine annealed optical glass and are polished to tight tolerances to ensure minimum wavefront distortion.
