1. A fixture for defining a constrained space configured to accommodate one or more energy relay materials therein, the fixture comprising:
a plurality of abutting adjustable walls extending along a longitudinal direction and defining a constrained space therebetween, each wall comprising an end portion and a side portion, and
wherein the adjustable walls are operable to vary a transverse dimension of at least a portion of the constrained space along the longitudinal direction by an adjustment to positions of the adjustable walls relative to one another in a transverse direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; and
wherein the adjustment comprises abutting and sliding the end portion of a first wall against the side portion of a second wall in a first direction, and abutting and sliding the side portion of the first wall against the end portion of a third wall in a second direction; and
wherein each of the adjustable walls is configured to slide in synchrony with other adjustable walls to maintain a closed perimeter of the constrained space while defining the transverse dimension thereof.
