Description: What is an Anamorphic Prism?

An anamorphic prism is a type of optical prism used to alter the aspect ratio of a light beam. It is particularly useful in applications where it is necessary to compress or expand one dimension of the beam without affecting the other, thereby changing the shape of the beam. This is often required in laser systems, cinematography, and optical data storage devices where beam shaping is crucial.
