1. An apparatus for shaping laser radiation, the apparatus comprising:
- a shaping substrate formed of one monolithic substrate or of a plurality of substrates connected to one another, said shaping substrate having a plurality of refractive boundary surfaces formed on said monolithic substrate or on said plurality of substrates;
said boundary surfaces being disposed to allow the laser radiation to be shaped to pass therethrough and said shaping substrate being formed to cause at least two partial beams of the laser radiation that are arranged alongside one another in a first direction prior to passing through said refractive boundary surfaces to be arranged alongside one another in a second direction after passing through said refractive boundary surfaces, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract
A device for shaping laser radiation, in particular for laser radiation emitted by a laser diode bar, has at least one substrate with a plurality of refractive boundary surfaces through which the laser radiation to be produced can pass in such a way that at least two partial beams of the laser radiation, which, prior to their passage, are adjacently arranged in a first direction, are adjacently arranged after their passage through the refractive boundary surfaces in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction. The refractive boundary surfaces are formed at a substrate or at substrates that are connected to one another.
