A simplified general design procedure for beam shaper converting Gaussian to super-Gaussian profile

This paper introduces a simplified general design procedure for designing laser beam shapers capable of redistributing an arbitrary beam profile into any desired output profile. Both geometrical and diffractive optical modelings are performed on a practical single lens shaper converting Gaussian to super-Gaussian profile that shows significant reduction of destructive effects on the beam uniformity over the sharp edge shapers.
