Abstract
⺠We propose active GRIN rods as extra-cavity compact laser beam shaping elements. ⺠Active GRIN materials work like quadratic phase transformers with a Gaussian mask. ⺠General conditions to obtain optical functions by active GRIN rods are determined. ⺠We evaluate irradiance and beam parameters evolution in active GRIN rod lenses. ⺠Simulation of uniform beams by active GRIN rod lenses is presented.
