Abstract
A light equalizer having an output aperture across which each area element exhibits substantially the same emission intensity regardless of the distribution of light into the input aperture of the equalizer. The equalizer is embodied in a stack of a plurality of transmissive elements, a number of which provide a multiplicity of light scattering centers. The exterior surface of the equalizer is covered with an internally reflective coating except for the input and output apertures.
