The Anamorphic prisms are used in pairs to magnify input beam size along one axis while leaving the other axis unchanged. The elliptical laser diode beams can be transfered into nearly circular beams.
Anamorphic Prism
With a anamorphic prism, the beam size can be changed along the axis while leaving the beam unchanged along the other axis, so the beam can be expanded, reduced or reshaped.
Anamorphic prisms are used to correct the asymmetric, elliptical beams produced by laser diodes, so that the beams are nearly circular in shape.

Anamorphic Prisms
The Anamorphic prisms are used in pairs to magnify input beam size along one axis while leaving the other axis unchanged. The elliptical laser diode beams can be transfered into nearly circular beams.
By adjusting the orientation of prisms(α1 and α2), the magnification range from 2x to 6x.
