Abstract
Device for splitting a light beam (1), including at least one lens array (3) with a plurality of lenses (3a-3i) of which at least two have a mutually differing, positive focal length, wherein the light beam (1) that is to be split can pass through the at least one lens array (3) and form at least some mutually separated, at least partially convergent subbeams (1a-1i) after passing through the plurality of lenses (3a-3i), and deflecting means (4) with a plurality of deflecting elements that are arranged downstream of the at least one lens array (3) and can deflect at least some of the subbeams (1a-1i), wherein at least two of the deflecting elements have a different spacing (da-di) from the at least one lens array (3).
Claims10
A device for splitting a light beam (1), comprising
- at least one lens array (3) with a plurality of lenses (3a-3i) of which at least two have a mutually differing, positive focal length, wherein the light beam (1) that is to be split is capable of passing through the at least one lens array (3) and form at least some mutually separated, at least partially convergent subbeams (1a-1i) after passing through the plurality of lenses (3a-3i), and
- deflecting means (4) with a plurality of deflecting elements that are arranged downstream of the at least one lens array. (3) and capable of deflecting at least some of the subbeams (1a-1i), wherein at least two of the deflecting elements have a different spacing (da-di) from the at least one lens array (3).
