Abstract
An optic element receives an input light beam with a first beam angle and an axis. The optic element includes a first surface that receives the input light beam and generates an expanded light beam with a second beam angle that is greater than or equal to the first beam angle. The optic element includes a second surface that receives the expanded light beam and generates an output light beam that is either substantially collimated or near collimated. The output light beam is tilted a predetermined degrees with respect to the axis of the input light beam.
