Laser Diode Astigmatism
Most diode lasers suffer from astigmatism: x- and y-components of the beam waist are displaced along the axis. In index-guided lasers, displacement is typically 2-8 µm. They must be collimated in most applications. Astigmatism of source causes. Laser diodes have many advantages: they are small and can be directly modulated, and the power requirements are the modest. However, the output directly from the diode is asymmetric.
