Abstract
A light pulse conditioning apparatus has at least first and second curved reflective surfaces that share a common focus and a light-redirecting element disposed between the first and second curved reflective surfaces to redirect at least a portion of an incident light beam toward the second curved reflective surface as a delayed beam portion. A beam-shifting compensating element is disposed between the first curved reflective surface and the light-redirecting element and in the path of the delayed beam portion, for shifting the optical path of the delayed beam portion as it returns toward the light-redirecting element.
