Abstract

This paper discusses multifaceted mirror configurations for transforming an arbitrary laser beam irradiance pattern into a uniform irradiance pattern. Three configurations are presented and compared, one of which allows for the elimination of diffraction effects. Aberration effects associated with the relaying or imaging of the irradiance pattern and a novel technique for correction are also discussed.
