How to measure astigmatism in laser diodes

Astigmatic difference is measured by the knife edge method as shown in Fig. By plotting the amount of light passing through the knife edge and knife edge position (X), the integral value of the laser beam can be. High-power laser diodes often exhibit asymmetric divergence in two directions. They must be collimated in most applications.  The x- and y-component of the direction vector of every ray are almost zero. This results in the beam having different focal points for the horizontal and vertical components. Correction of the astigmatism of a diode laser (2) beam is achieved by utilizing the inherent nature of anamorphic optics (8) to produce astigmatism when decollimated light enters the ...
