A spatial beam shaper structure and a corresponding optical system are provided. The spatial beam shaper structure comprises a light collecting surface configured for affecting light impinging thereon to provide a substantially smooth light profile of at least one optical property, the light collecting surface having a pattern in the form of multiple surface regions comprising regions of at least two different optical properties arranged in an alternating fashion, wherein an interface region between each two locally adjacent regions of the different optical properties has the at least two different optical properties, to provide substantially smooth transition of said different optical properties within the interface region.

Optical element for spatial beam shaping

Two N-channel deflector modules, both located in the same layer or plane of an assembly, direct polarized beams toward a polarization beam splitter. A half wave plate is interposed between one of the deflector modules and the polarization beam splitter. The polarization beam splitter combines the two beams into a single output beam, without loss of optical power, comprising 2N channels, each of which can carry a unique data stream. In alternate embodiments the group of two deflector modules and a polarization beam splitter can be stacked, optionally in combination with layers comprising a single deflector module and polarization beam splitter or mirror.
