Beam shapers, imaging heads formed using such beam shapers and methods are
provided that are adapted to shape a light beam for use in imaging. In
accordance with one method described herein a light beam is received and
the light beam is reflectively scrambled to form generally homogenous
light having a non-circular shape. The homogenous light is delivered to a
circular core multimode light path that shapes the light beam so that
light exiting the circular core multimode light path comprises circular
shaped homogenous light.
