Optical System for Shaping a Laser Beam and Laser System Having Such an Optical System
First Claim
1. An optical system for shaping a laser beam, comprising:
- an optical element, including;
a base member with a lower base, an upper base, and a lateral surface abutting the lower base and the upper base, wherein the lateral surface includes a transmitting surface for the laser beam;
wherein the base member includes a first cutout portion with a lower base arranged in the upper base of the base member and a lateral surface, wherein the lateral surface of the first cutout portion includes a first reflecting surface for the laser beam and wherein an at least segmentally ring-shaped laser beam is generatable by the lateral surface of the first cutout portion;
wherein the base member includes a second cutout portion with a lower base arranged in the lower base of the base member, an upper base, wherein the upper base of the second cutout portion includes a transmitting surface for the laser beam, and a lateral surface abutting the lower base and the upper base of the second cutout portion, wherein the lateral surface includes a second reflecting surface for the at least segmentally ring-shaped laser beam.

Abstract
An optical system for shaping a laser beam is disclosed. The optical system includes an optical element with a base member having a lower base, an upper base, and a lateral surface. The lateral surface includes a transmitting surface for the laser beam, and the base member includes a first cutout portion having a lower base arranged in the upper base of the base member, and a lateral surface that has a first reflecting surface for the laser beam and generates an at least segmentally ring-shaped laser beam. The base member includes a second cutout portion having a lower base arranged in the lower base of the base member, an upper base that includes a transmitting surface for the laser beam, and a lateral surface abutting the lower and upper base. The lateral surface includes a second reflecting surface for the at least segmentally ring-shaped laser beam.
