Frequently Asked Questions

The Anamorphic Prism Pair is used to correct the asymmetric beam shape of a Laser Diode – from elliptical to near circular shape.

The Anamorphic Prism Pair expands (or contracts) the beam in one direction only while the other direction remains unchanged. The aspect ratio of the elliptical beam varies according to the laser diode. Magnification is controlled by the angular position of the prisms relative to the incident beam (which has already been collimated).

The Anamorphic Prism Pair is optimized for 650-850 nm.

The Anamorphic Prism Pair is made of SF11 glass, has a θ of 29.45˚, a size of 12 x 12 x 8.5 mm, a dimension tolerance of +0/-0.254 mm, an angle tolerance of <3 arcmin, a surface quality of 40-20, a flatness of λ/10, a clear aperture of >80% of central dim., and a chamfer of 0.3 mm x 45˚.

The Anamorphic Prism Pair has a catalog number of 24-9078 and a price of $125.00.
