Intelligent visible light with a gallium and nitrogen containing laser source

A smart light source configured for visible light communication comprising:

• a controller comprising a modem and a driver, the modem being configured to receive data signal and operate the driver to generate a driving current and a modulation signal;
• a light emitter configured as a pump-light device comprised of a gallium and nitrogen containing material and an optical cavity comprising an optical waveguide region and one or more facet regions, wherein the optical cavity is configured with electrodes to supply the driving current from the driver to the gallium and nitrogen containing material to provide optical gain to an electromagnetic radiation propagating in the optical waveguide region and output a directional electromagnetic radiation through at least one of the one or more facet regions, wherein the directional electromagnetic radiation is characterized by a first peak wavelength in the ultra-violet or blue wavelength regime and modulated to carry the data signal using the modulation signal by the controller;
• a wavelength converter optically coupled to the directional electromagnetic radiation from the pump-light device, wherein the wavelength converter is configured to convert at least a fraction of the directional electromagnetic radiation with the first peak wavelength to at least a second peak wavelength that is longer than the first peak wavelength and to output a white-color spectrum comprising at least the second peak wavelength and partially the first peak wavelength;
• a beam shaper configured to collimate and focus a beam of the white-color spectrum to a certain direction or a certain focal point;
• a beam steering element configured to manipulate the beam of the white-color spectrum for illuminating a target of interest and transmitting the data signal through at least the fraction of the directional electromagnetic radiation with the first peak wavelength to a receiver at the target of interest;
• and
• one or more sensors configured in a feedback loop circuit coupled to the controller, wherein the one or more sensors are configured to provide one or more feedback currents or voltages based on the various parameters associated with the target of interest detected in real time to the controller with one or more of light movement response, light color response, light brightness response, spatial light pattern response, and data signal communication response being triggered.
