Gaussian beam reshaping into flat-top rectangular beam based on two pairs of cylindrical microlens arrays
We propose and demonstrate a new reshaping beam homogenization scheme based on two pairs of cylindrical microlens arrays, which enable the reshaping of a Gaussian circular beam into a uniform flat-top rectangular beam with adjustable size and aspect ratio. Based on the Fourier optics theory, the beam propagation process was analyzed, leading to the establishment of a homogenized light field model. The design parameters of the microlens array system were optimized by using Zemax software. In a proof-of-principle experiment, variant homogenized rectangular spots with customizable aspect ratios can be successfully created, by adjusting the interval between the cylindrical microlens arrays, while the corresponding uniformity remains largely unchanged. This work provides a novel method for generating rectangular intensity distribution with adjustable dimensions. Its spatial flexibility and adaptability are well-suited to the requirements of scientific research and industrial applications.
