Long-Range Illuminator Using Multiple Radiation Dispersion Angles

An illumination system comprising:

• a first laser diode and a second laser diode coupled with a power source;
• a first optical collimator and a second collimator, configured such that said first collimator collects radiation from said first diode, and said second collimator collects radiation from said second diode;
• said first and second collimators directing said first and second radiation from said first and second diodes towards a translucent plate;
• said translucent plate including at least two type of diffusion films;
• wherein said directed first radiation passes through a first type of diffusion film of said at least two types of diffusion films;
• and said directed second radiation passes through a second type of diffusion film of said at least types of diffusion film;
• a cover, including a clear section so that said first and second type of diffused radiation passes through said clear section.

An illumination system comprising:

• a rotating plate made of a translucent material;
• said rotating plate attached to an adjustable rotating actuator;
• said rotating plate including a first type of diffusion film and a second type of diffusion film;
• said first type of diffusion film causing radiation that passes through it to be dispersed at a first angle between 1 and 10 degrees;
• said second type of diffusion film causing radiation that passes through it to be dispersed at a second angle between 11 and 25 degrees;
• at least one laser diode connected to a power source, and an optical element, wherein said at least one laser diode creates said radiation and directs said radiation through said optical element, said optical element directing said radiation towards said rotating plate.
