Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An elongated laser beam optical assembly. The assembly has a laser light source that produces a laser beam. A cylindrical anamorphic lens has a planar surface at a first end and an anamorphic surface at a second end thereof, the first end receiving the laser beam from the laser light source and producing an output laser beam from the second end thereof. An aperture passes the output laser beam from the second end of the anamorphic lens to produce an elongated laser beam.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An elongated laser beam optical assembly, comprising: a laser light source that produces a laser beam; a cylindrical anamorphic lens having a planar surface at a first end and an anamorphic surface at a second end thereof, the first end receiving the laser beam from the laser light source and producing an output laser beam from the second end thereof; and an aperture that passes the output laser beam from the second end of the anamorphic lens to produce an elongated laser beam; wherein the curvature of the anamorphic surface is given by: z = ( CUX ) ⁢ x 2 + ( CUY ) ⁢ y 2 1 + 1 - ( 1 + KX ) ⁢ ( CUX ) 2 ⁢ x 2 - ( 1 + KY ) ⁢ ( CUY ) 2 ⁢ y 2 + AR ⁢ { ( 1 - AP ) ⁢ x 2 + ( 1 + AP ) ⁢ y 2 } 2 + BR ⁢ { ( 1 - BP ) ⁢ x 2 + ( 1 + BP ) ⁢ y 2 } 3 + CR ⁢ { ( 1 - CP ) ⁢ x 2 +
