Three lens configuration for removing spherical aberrations from laser's focus. The two lens on the right are set at each other's focal lengths, creating a parallel beam. This is then tightly focused through a fused silica entrance window on the ablation chamber (under 10mTorr vacuum), producing a beam spot with dimensions of 0.2mmx0.3mm.
