Aberrated lenses for generating flattened laser irradiance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Expressions for describing Gaussian beams focused by a lens with spherical aberration have been derived. Numerical results show that, when the coefficient of the spherical aberration is negative, one can obtain flattened laser irradiance at two positions along the focused field. The larger the coefficient of negative spherical aberration, the larger the flatness is. The effect of the Fresnel number of the focusing lens on the flattened laser irradiance is also investigated.

Axial irradiance for spherically aberrated holographic optical elements.
The effect of third-order balanced spherical aberration on the axial irradiance of holographic lenses is considered. It is shown that the number of principal maxima of axial irradiance increases for large aberrations, and the position of these points can be different from the position of the minimum aberration variance point.
متن کاملThe effect of axial length on laser spot size and laser irradiance.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of the axial length of the eye on laser spot size and irradiance. DESIGN Experimental study using a calibrated Gullstrand-type model eye. METHODS The model eye, which was fitted with a scale of half circles in the center of the artificial fundus, was first examined using 2 different fundus imaging systems, then with a setup of a slitlamp, 2 indirect condens...
متن کاملOptical aberrations in a spinning pipe gas lens.
If a heated pipe is rotated about its axis, a density gradient is formed which results in the pipe acting as a graded index lens. In this study we revisit the concept of a spinning pipe gas lens and for the first time analyse both the wave propagation of optical fields through the lens, and determine the optical aberrations introduced by the lens to the laser beam. We show that such lenses are ...
متن کاملTopography-guided laser refractive surgery.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Topography-guided laser refractive surgery regularizes the front corneal surface irregularities to achieve the desired refractive outcome. This is particularly applicable in highly aberrated corneas, where wavefront aberrometry is often not possible. This article aims to review the recently published results of topography-guided ablations in normal regular corneas, highly aber...
متن کاملAnalytic design of multiple-axis, multifocal diffractive lenses.
In this Letter, we introduce an analytic procedure for designing diffractive lenses using the combination of wavefronts aberrated by Zernike polynomials. We show how to design amplitude-only, phase-only, continuous, and binary lenses providing equivalent results. As an example we apply it to the design of a multiple-axis, multifocal lens. The number of foci and their positions can be easily con...
