Abstract
In this paper, the governing parameters of Gaussian to flat top beam shaping are explored in simulation. We show that there exists optimal values for these parameters for a given beam shaping configuration, and that deviation from these values affect both the homogeneity and precision of the output square immensely. By performing a 3D parameter sweep over incident beam waist radius, output square size, and aperture width, we are able to express the best performing parameters in a single parameterized equation.
