Abstract
Colorless gradient-index cylindrical lenses with high numerical apertu res in slabs 200-1000 mu m thick have been fabricated by silver-sodium ion exchange in a specially developed glass. The lenses with numerica l apertures of 0.6 are characterized by index profiles and by spherica l and chromatic aberration. On-axis focusing properties and the applic ation to the collimation of high-power laser diode bars are discussed.
