    We propose and demonstrate a scheme to smooth and shape the on-target patterns in multimode fiber lasers, which includes expanding–collimating system and lens array (LA). A smooth pattern with flat-top and sharp-edge profiles can be obtained with the irradiation nonuniformity decreasing significantly. We analyze the effects of the parameters such as defocus distance, the tilt angles, the number of the incident fiber lasers, and the diffraction-weakened LA on the uniformity irradiation of target by numerical simulations.
