Performance of N-series lenses

The efficiency of an optical system of illumination, or performance, is a dimensionless number with a value between 0 and 1, or, when multiplied by 100, is expressed in percentage. The efficiency of an optical system is the ratio of light emitted by the source (incoming light) and the light emitted from the optical system…

The cylindrical lenses have magnification in only one axis, therefore these lenses can change the height of an image without changing the width of the image. These lenses are also used in the lighting applications, to collimate the LED light and to create lines of light.…
