.Rod Lens

.What is Rod Lens:  

Rod Lenses are a special variant of cylindrical lenses. They are complete rods where the light passes through the sides of the rod and focuses a line.  Rod lenses have an outside face that is polished and the ends ground. The table below gives angular lengths of the line for a 1mm diameter laser beam. Typical uses for rod lenses would be to generate a line image from a circular laser beam.
