Frequently Asked Questions

Anamorphic prisms are used to change the dimension of a beam in one axis, the effect being analogous to that of a cylindrical lens.

No, these two prisms can expand or contract the beam in one direction without any changes in the other direction.

By adjusting the angles among the incident beam and two prisms, the shape of the beam can be changed.

A system using a pair of anamorphic prisms has several significant benefits, such as the ability to turn an elliptical beam into a circular beam, more cost-effectiveness than cylindrical lenses of comparable quality, and the ability to design a pair of prisms into a much more compact package than a telescope using cylindrical optics.

Yes, a mount for anamorphic prisms is available upon request.
