Abstract
The latest results on intensity distribution transformation from Gaussian to a flattop and doughnut are presented in the paper. The wavefront was modified with bimorph deformable mirror to reach the desired intensity distribution in the farfield. LC phase modulator was also considered as an alternative device for laser beam shaping. The theoretical calculations and experimental results of the efficiency of different types of wavefront correctors are given.
