Beam shaping with a plano-freeform lens pair.

It has been shown in [Arch. Rational Mechanics and Analysis 201, 1013 (2011)]. Such approach provides a rigorous methodology for designing freeform optics for irradiance redistribution. In this paper, this approach is applied to design of a laser beam shaping system with two lenses.
