Powell Lenses

Powell Lenses, also known as Laser Line Generator Lenses, are optimized for a 0.8mm diameter laser beam input. The VIS-NIR coated lenses convert laser beams into uniform, straight lines. Unlike cylindrical lenses, which generate Gaussian beam profiles with hot-spot center points and fading edges, Powell Lenses provide an even distribution of energy along the length of the entire line. Powell Lenses are ideal for alignment and machine vision applications. These lenses are offered with multiple fan angles and come in an 8.90mm diameter size.
