Abstract
A device for homogenizing laser light using a rotating lens is provided. The device comprises: a laser; an integrating rod having an input face; a lens located between the laser and the input face of the integrating rod, the lens having an optical axis, the lens positioned to receive light from the laser, off the optical axis, and focus the light through the input face of the integrating rod; and, an actuator device configured to rotate the lens about an axis of rotation different from the optical axis.
