Investigation of Lens Aberrations in a SLM-based Beam Shaping Setup

Diffractive beam shapers are usually used in combination with other optical components, like focusing lenses. Therefore, the quality of the shaped beam depends not only on the diffractive beam shaper itself, but also on the other components. It is important to understand the role and contribution of each component in the resulting beam quality. In this example, the influence from lens aberrations on the performance of a beam shaping system is investigated in VirtualLab Fusion.
