Abstract
An optical system for use with laser chips to counteract variations in wavelength produced by semiconductor chips, to counteract astigmatism effects common to laser chips, to counteract variations in the distance between the plane of emission of the beam and the plane of a collimating lens, to counteract variations in beam size in perpendicular planes, to counteract variations in the divergence angle of emission common to laser chips, and to counteract tilt variations caused by imperfect reflecting surfaces. The system includes an apertured achromatic doublet lens for collimating the beam, a cylindrical lens, a rotating mirror, and a combination of toroidal and spherical lens.
