Reply To: Laser Beam Shaping

[Niki Papachristou]

Hi Arezoo, 

I think you are right here. A biconic surface can be used for this type of beam shaping. Its Radius is the radius along Y, and its first parameter is X Radius. Therefore, you can independently change each radii. They can also be both made variable, and used during optimization.

I would also suggest to have a look in this article in case you can find it helpful: How to design a Gaussian to Top Hat beam shaper

I hope that was helpful, let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Kind Regards,

Niki
