Abstract

A beam shaper according to an embodiment of the present invention for a light source arrangement for generating a radiation profile includes a multitude of adjacently arranged optical beam-shaping elements, each belonging to one type of a plurality of different types with different optical characteristics. When illuminated together, the beam-shaping elements effect the radiation profile of the beam shaper and each include an intensity-modulating element and a refractive element.
