Popis:	We propose a method for designing a refractive optical element with two working surfaces transforming an incident beam with a plane wavefront into an output beam with prescribed irradiance distribution and a non-planar wavefront. The presented method generalizes the supporting quadric method [Opt. Express 28, 22642 (2020)10.1364/OE.398990] proposed for collimated beam shaping to the case of a non-planar output wavefront. The method is simple to implement and is based on just a few main equations. We present several examples of designing optical elements (including elements with piecewise-smooth optical surfaces) generating light beams with prescribed irradiance distributions and wavefronts (spherical and aspherical). The examples demonstrate high performance of the method.
