A system and method for advanced charge control of a light beam is provided. The system comprising a laser source comprising a laser diode for emitting a beam and a beam homogenizer to homogenize the emitted beam. The system and methods further comprise a beam shaper configured to shape the emitted beam using an anamorphic prism group and a driver configured to direct the shaped beam to a specified position on a wafer, wherein the laser source, the beam shaper, and the driver are coaxially aligned.

Beamformers are formed (e.g., carved) from a stack of transparent sheets. A rear face of each sheet has a reflective coating. The reflectivities of the coatings vary monotonically with sheet position within the stack. The sheets are tilted relative to the intended direction of an input beam and then bonded to form the stack. The carving can include dicing the stack to yield stacklets, and polishing the stacklets to form beamformers. Each beamformer is thus a stack of beamsplitters, including a front beamsplitter in the form of a triangular or trapezoidal prism, and one or more beamsplitters in the form of rhomboid prisms. In use, a beamformer forms an output beam from an input beam. More specifically, the beamformer splits an input beam into plural output beam components that collectively constitute an output beam that differs in cross section from the input beam.
