Patent number: 10663700Abstract: An anamorphic three-element objective lens projects a plurality of beams of different wavelengths and different diameters into an elongated focal spot in a working-plane. In one transverse direction of the lens, the beams are tightly focused with equal beam-waist widths in the working-plane, defining a height of the focal spot. In another transverse direction, the different beams are focused progressively beyond the working-plane such that the beams have a common beam-width in the working-plane, thereby defining a width of the focal spot.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Coherent, Inc.Inventors: Michele Wayne Winz, Lei Meng
