title: Geometrical-transformation approach to optical two-dimensional beam shaping.
abstract: The use of geometrical transformations in the design of an optical beam shaper (OBS) is described. Elements based on this approach can transform light distributions into almost any arbitrary distribution. An example OBS is analyzed numerically.
