  • Optics for apodizing an optical imaging probe beam
    Patent number: 10314491
    Abstract: Optics for apodizing an optical imaging probe beam, and methods for fabricating optics for apodizing an optical imaging probe beam are provided. In some embodiments, optics for apodizing an electrical comprises: an optical fiber; a focusing element coaxially aligned with the optical fiber; an element having a cylindrical bore and an angled reflective surface, wherein a first portion of a beam focused by the focusing element enters the cylindrical bore and a second portion of the beam is reflected at an angle to produce a beam with a generally annular-shaped profile.
