Does anyone know a good supplier of lenses?
I'm only using them for normal led light, but I'm don't know where to get the non circular types, like long half cylinder shaped ones (ie only focusing in one plane) |

In the experienced section there's some links listing suppliers of lenses and optics - I'd check that out first. From time to time you see lenses on Ebay but I don't know about the kind you are looking for.

| I think you are looking for cylindrical lenses, they're not that common actually. They're used in the more expensive DPSS lasers to correct the beamprofile of the pumpdiode if I remember correctly. |

| 3 places to look (that I use personally) would be Edmund Optics, Thor Labs, and Newport. |
