Conventional optical components have been proposed to realize high-quality line focusing with uniform intensity distribution such as cylindrical lenses, segmented wedge-arrays, or a combination of prisms and spherical mirrors. However, numerous factors such as the manufacturing tolerances of conventional lenses or the need for precise alignment of the lenses cause wavefront aberrations that impact the performance of optical systems. These aforementioned limitations of conventional optical components affect the uniformity of the intensity distribution. Here, we numerically and experimentally demonstrate an integrable planar all-dielectric cylindrical lens for uniform line focusing. The lens has a NA of 0.247 and a measured uniformity of 0.92% at 800 nm.
