Abstract

It is proposed to estimate lens quality for multi mode beam transformation by factor Q as a ratio of output to input beam parameter M². The quasi geometrical method of M² calculation is presented, and several examples are discussed. It is shown that for high M² beams, the requirements on lens quality are considerably lower than for diffraction limited systems.
