Abstract
A method of homogenizing light includes the steps of providing a plurality of large diameter lenses selected from a group of lenses consisting of positive or negative spherical, positive or negative cylindrical lenses and positive or negative axicons, selecting a predetermined number of lenses from the group of lenses, segmenting each selected lens in a manner common to all selected lenses, selecting from each lens a predetermined number of lens segments, and arranging the selected lens segments in a predetermined array so that the light passing through each lens segment, when arranged in the predetermined array, recombines at a common plane.
