Abstract
The analytic design of anamorphic optical system for transforming the coherent Gaussian beam of a He-Ne laser to a partially coherent Gaussian Schell-model beam with an anisotropic cross-section and an anisotropic degree of coherence is described. Design equations are formulated and some design examples are presented.
