What is F thets Lens and what can F theta lens do ?

[Rexhang5]

The laser beam passes through the F theta lens system and will produce off-axis deflection. Relative to an ideal plane, abnormal images or distortion will appear on the marking surface.

In simple terms, F-theta lenses are designed to ensure that the laser beam stays focused and consistent across the entire scanning area. This is super important for precision work. Unlike regular lenses, which can cause image distortion when directing a laser beam across a surface, F-theta lenses keep things neat and tidy. Imagine trying to draw a straight line but ending up with a curve – that's what happens without F-theta lenses in laser systems!
These lenses work by producing a linear relationship between the angle of the scanning mirror and the position of the laser spot on the plane. Basically, it means that the laser beam is deflected off-axis but still hits the right spot without going all wonky. It's like having a really good pool player who can hit the cue ball at an angle but still pocket the ball every time.

Are there any different types of F thetas Lens..? or there is just one of its kind
