.Beam collimation of the laser diode with a heteroaxial double half-elliptical cylinder lens[J].Optoelectronics Letters,2010,6(6):435-438 Beam collimation of the laser diode with a heteroaxial double half-elliptical cylinder lens 高全华 School of Science,Chang’an University； Abstract:       A new collimation system, the heteroaxial double half-elliptical cylinder lens (HDHECL), is proposed based on the raytracing method, and the collimation performance of the HDHECL is discussed and compared with conventional lenses. The simulation results suggest that the refractive index of the HDHECL can be larger than 2, the collimation effect is improved with the increase of the refractive index in a certain range, and the divergence angle in the fast-axis direction can be compressed to less than 0.01 mrad theoretically. These results are of significance in theory and practice. Hits: 3882 Download times: 236 View Full Text    Download reader
