One possible element for funneling two beams together is a deflector with a constant or time-varying electric-field strength. With such an element, arbitrary beams can be brought together and maintained on the axis, if the appropriate combination of deflector parameters is chosen. A parallel beam can be handled only with a time-varying voltage of the deflector. The six-dimensional transfer matrices are calculated for constant or time-varying fields; all the results are correct in first-order approximation.
