Zusammenfassung:Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided for heating a plurality of optical components. An example method can include receiving an input radiation beam from a radiation source. The example method can further include generating a plurality of output radiation beams based on the input radiation beam. The example method can further include transmitting the plurality of output radiation beams towards a plurality of heater head optics configured to heat the plurality of optical components. Optionally, the example method can further include controlling a respective power value, and realizing a flat-top far-field profile, of each of the plurality of output radiation beams.
