Gaussian beam shaping based on aspheric cylindrical lenses

Abstract:

We propose a specific aspheric cylindrical optical system to transform Gaussian beam to flat-top and rectangular beam. The Gaussian beam shaping system is composed of dual orthogonal aspheric cylindrical lenses. The principle of shaping Gaussian beam is studied theoretically. The mapping function of arbitrary rays in an incident plane and an image plane is deduced based on the law of energy conservation, and the real ray tracing method is adopted to design the shaping system. Finally, the lens system is processed by single point diamond turning techniques. Testing results indicate that the system achieves the theoretical expectation, and the uniformity of flat-top and rectangular beam is 88.2%. The method is not only simple but also practical.
