A beam distribution apparatus includes a stack of parallelogram prisms and
beam-splitting coatings each located between opposing parallel faces of
adjacent parallelogram prisms. The stack is mounted on an entrance face
of a triangular prism. The triangular prism includes the entrance face, a
reflective face, and an exit face. The reflective face has optical
surfaces for shaping output beams from the stack and reflecting the
output beams through the exit face.
