Ray mapping approach in double freeform surface design for collimated beam shaping beyond the paraxial approximation

Christoph Bösel, Norman G. Worku, Herbert Gross

Numerous applications require the simultaneous redistribution of the irradiance and phase of a laser beam. The beam shape is thereby determined by the respective application. An el…
