Metrology Protocols for Precision Cylindrical Lenses
Cylindrical lens metrology protocols are essential for bridging the gap between theoretical optical design and high-performance manufacturing. Unlike spherical optics, the inherent asymmetry of cylindrical elements demands specialized measurement techniques to quantify errors in axial tilt, eccentricity, and surface form. As industrial applications in LiDAR, AR/MR/VR, and high-power laser systems push for tighter tolerances, moving beyond basic mechanical inspection toward advanced interferometric characterization is no longer optional—it is a requirement for system-level precision.
