Method and device for influencing light

A device for influencing light, the device comprising:

• a first array of individual lens systems, through which the light to be influenced can at least partially pass;
• a first phase-modifying array for modifying phases of the light having passed through said individual lens systems of said first array of lens systems;
• a second array of lens systems, through which the light having passed through said first phase-modifying array can at least partially pass, said second array of lens systems causing a plurality of local intensity maxima of the light to be influenced to be created in a vicinity of or before said second array of lens systems in a propagation direction of the light to be influenced;
• a first lens system disposed between said first array of lens systems and said second array of lens systems;
• said first phase-modifying array being disposed after said first lens system in said propagation direction of the light to be influenced;
• at least one of said first array of lens systems or said second array of lens systems including a first and a second optically functional interface being spaced apart from each other in said propagation direction of the light to be influenced, with a array of lens elements being formed on each of said interfaces;
• and
• said first phase-modifying array being disposed between said two optically functional interfaces of said first array of lens systems in said propagation direction of the light to be influenced.
