An imaging system, comprising:

• a light source configured to generate a light beam;
• a first light guiding optical element having a first entry portion and configured to propagate at least a first portion of the light beam by total internal reflection;
• a second light guiding optical element having a second entry portion and configured to propagate at least a second portion of the light beam by total internal reflection;
• and
• a light distributor having a light distributor entry portion, a first exit portion and a second exit portion, and configured to direct the first and second portions of the light beam toward the first and second entry portions, respectively,
• wherein the light distributor entry portion and the first exit portion are aligned along a first axis, and
• wherein the light distributor entry portion and the second exit portion are aligned along a second axis different from the first axis.
