Abstract
A system for the reforming of a laser beam having a circular sector shaped beam cross section into a laser beam with a rectangular beam cross section, incorporates a mirror whose surface is shaped as the circular sector of a reflective parabolic rotational body. With only one mirror, and with only minor image aberrations, the circular sector shaped laser beam can be reformed into a rectangular laser beam.
