The article investigated conditions for shaping astigmatic-invariant structured Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams in the case of simple astigmatism. We have theoretically and experimentally confirmed that the conditions of astigmatic invariance are that the q-phase parameter of the structured LG (sLG) beam is equal to the arctangent of the ratio of the Rayleigh length z0 to the focal length fcyl of a cylindrical lens for a single amplitude parameter of epsilon;=1. For the rest amplitude parameter val
