Buying Anamorphic Prism Pairs
An anamorphic prism pair consists of two prisms used to reshape the beam profile of a laser. This setup is commonly employed to transform the elliptical output of laser diodes into a circular beam, which is necessary for many optical applications requiring uniform beam quality, such as in laser machining and optical communication.

 Optics, Photonics and Metrology Schäfter + KirchhoffKieler Str. 212 22525 Hamburg Germany See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 3456)! |  Anamorphic optics act one-dimensionally on the elliptical profile of the collimated beam. They can e.g. be used to adjust the larger beam diameter to the dimension of the smaller one, producing a radially symmetric beam or transform a circular beam into an elliptical one. Anamorphic beam-shaping optics type 5AN are cylinder lens systems and, therefore, can be additionally used to correct the astigmatic difference. |
