Anamorphic prism for beam shaping.

摘要

A device for shaping a beam of light comprising a single anamorphic prism having an input face for receiving a beam of light, and an output face for outputting the beam of light. A reflecting face reflects light from the input face to the output face. The faces are oriented to cause the beam exiting the output face to be substantially parallel to the beam entering the input face. The prism is sized to provide colinearity of the input and output light.
