  • Publication number: 20110051253
    Abstract: An apparatus for homogenizing light, including a lens array (5, 7, 8) with a plurality of lenses (6, 9, 10) through which the light to be homogenized can pass. The apparatus has at least two different center-to-center distances of the lenses (6, 9, 10) of the lens array (5, 7, 8), wherein the center-to-center distances of the lenses (6, 9, 10) decrease or increase from the inside to the outside.

  • Patent number: 7859758
    Abstract: A device for homogenizing light has a first lens array provided with a number of convex lenses, and at least one second lens array disposed at a distance from the first lens array in the beam scattering direction and through which the light refracted by the first lens array can pass. The second lens array is formed with a number of first lenses that are respectively arranged at a distance from each other. At least one of the first lenses of the second lens array is associated with each convex lens of the first lens array. The convex lenses of the first lens array have a smaller curvature than the first lenses of the second lens array associated with said convex lenses.

  • Patent number: 7532406
    Abstract: A device for homogenizing light has at least two cylindrical lens arrays which are placed one behind the other in a direction of diffusion of the light to be homogenized and which each have convex and concave cylindrical lenses disposed next to one another in an alternating manner, the cylinder axes of these cylindrical lenses are aligned parallel to one another. In the direction, in which the cylindrical lenses are disposed next to one another, the concave cylindrical lenses of the first cylindrical lens array have a shaping, in particular, an extension or curvature different from that of the concave cylindrical lenses of the second cylindrical lens arrays.
