摘要
We report on a novel transversal beam shaping approach to convert a Gaussian beam to a flat top focus profile by employing a hyperbolic phase function in a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) spatial light modulator (SLM). The wellknown Powell lens approach is compared to ours. The analytically obtained phase function for the flat top focus conversion problem is compared to our approach theoretically and experimentally. A strategy for the generation of squared and circular top hat foci is derived. (C) 2019 Optical Society of America
