Oh yes.... the uncorrected divergence of the 07E is greater than the
uncorrected divergence of the 01T.

I assume that the size of the emitter is the variable in play here. The
question stands, if we lengthen the path of propagation for the 07E... will
this compensate enough to equalize the divergence between the two diodes at the Far field ??
.
To forge an equal far-field divergence circles back to being dependent on
how far the beam target is from the projector unit.
This issue then reverts back to the discussion of how far away is the
typical far-field maximum?
.
SOooo, what does the venue demand ?...15 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters...to the Far field. How good the beam matching is... depends on how far away the beam target is.
.
There also remains another problem of collateral consequence. When we extend the beam path of the 07E, this will also increase the width/geometry at the near field. Will the near field then fit the scanner mirrors ?? Always compromises !
.
It boils down to...What can we live with ? Perhaps, a single set of cylindrical lenses will not be adequate under some cases....vis... Graphic shows at a 30 meter Far field ??
.
Optics are a stern taskmaster, and one never gets without giving.
.
I have no doubt that the commercial projector manufactures grapple with this every day....and have do so for years...just like we have.
