Aspects of the present disclosure include systems with multiple lasers having modified beam profiles. Systems according to certain embodiments include a first laser that produces a first beam of light, a second laser that produces a second beam of light and a beam shaping component that receives the first beam of light and the second beam of light at substantially the same position from different angles of incidence and is configured to generate from the first beam of light and the second beam of light an output beam of light having a predetermined intensity profile along a horizontal axis. Methods for irradiating a sample in a flow stream with the output beam of light are also described. Kits having one or more lasers and a beam shaping component configured to generate from a first beam of light and a second beam of light an output beam of light having a predetermined intensity profile along a horizontal axis are also provided.
A multi-laser apparatus comprising:
A method comprising irradiating a sample in a flow stream with a plurality of beams of light produced by a plurality of lasers through a beam shaping lens that receives each of the plurality of beams of light at the same position at a surface of or within the beam shaping component from different angles of incidence and is configured to generate from the plurality of beams of light an output beam of light having a predetermined intensity profile along a horizontal axis, wherein light from each laser is propagated directly to the beam shaping component.
