Reflective loop system producing incoherent radiation

摘要

A system and method are used to form incoherent beams from a coherent beam. A system comprises a source of radiation and a reflective loop system. The source of radiation produces a coherent or partially coherent beam. The reflective loop system receives the partially coherent beam and reflects the partially coherent beam through a loop, or alternatively through non-overlapping loops, to form an incoherent beam.
