Formation of a smooth transverse distribution of intensity in a light beam by a phase-rotating plate

A new apodizing aperture based on a birefringent crystal plate is suggested. The calculated and experimentally determined transmission functions of such an aperture are given. These apertures can be used in laser systems to produce the required spatial profile of a light beam.
