摘要:A multi-aperture beam integrator system/method for producing an polygon or other complex optical pattern on an image plane, which can be continuously varied in size, aspect ratio, or shape, is described. The integrator/method uses optical array elements having various phase functions, which can be combined to create optical patterns. Varying the location of the optical array elements with respect to each other and/or moving individual unit cells contained within the optical array elements can create continuously varying optical patterns at a desired location.
