The surface shape of the optical element is usually spherical or plane two categories, cylindrical mirror belongs to the spherical class, all use the surface to focus or divergent light, but the cylindrical mirror is different from the isotropic characteristics of the spherical mirror, only in one direction has the ability to converge or divergent, will not affect the vertical direction of the light, so it is the ideal choice for one-dimensional amplification applications. Cylindrical mirrors can be divided into plain cylindrical lens, plain concave cylindrical lens, double convex cylindrical lens, double concave cylinder, meniscus cylindrical mirror, cylindrical cylindrical mirror, etc.

Cylindrical mirrors are mainly used to change the design requirements of the imaging size. For example, converting a spot into a line spot, or changing the height of the image without changing the width of the image. It can be used in linear detector lighting, barcode scanning, holographic lighting, light information processing, computer, laser emission. Cylindrical optical mirrors are also widely used in intense laser systems and synchrotron radiation beamlines. At the same time, the requirements for cylindrical mirror parts are getting higher and higher, especially in high-precision testing instruments and devices such as high-power laser resonators and long-distance interferometers.
