Variable-diameter refractive beam shaping with freeform optical surfaces

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We propose a refractive two-element system that converts the Gaussian irradiance of an incident laser beam into a nominally flat-top output spot at a given distance with the capability to vary the spot diameter. The elements are high-order freeform surfaces that, when laterally translated, form a variable composite beam shaper. The general approach for determining the required freeform surfaces is discussed, and example design results are presented.
