Abstract
One of the most common tasks in beam shaping is the transformation of a Gaussian laser beam into a uniform far-field distribution. We present both non-periodic and periodic resonance-region structures that convert a narrow beam (waist size of the order of the wavelength) into a nearly flat-top distribution over a wide angular range.
