Zusammenfassung:Optical variosystems that form the required diameter of the Gaussian beam waist and perform its smooth longitudinal movement with a constant diameter for laser technologies, processing materials, moving microobjects, etc., are considered. A combined method based on a movable tunable-focus lens for changing the optical characteristics of laser variosystems is proposed. The features and fundamental differences between the laws of transformation of Gaussian beams by optical systems of different structures for the dimensional synthesis of laser variosystems are discussed. Based on these laws and the theory of laser optics, a method for the dimensional synthesis of one- and two-component laser variosystems is developed, an algorithm for their automated synthesis, and an example of calculation are given.
