ABSTRACT:
An optical beam regenerator includes a plurality of optical fibers into which an input beam is directed. The optical fibers are positioned to rearrange portions of the input beam to generate an output beam having a uniform or other prescribed distribution of irradiance. To further smooth the irradiance distribution of the output beam, the beam can be directed through a Kohler illumination system.
