Abstract
A mixed and distributed laser illumination system includes a source unit having an internally located power supply, a laser driver and a light generator. The light generator includes a plurality of laser diodes that are communicatively linked with the laser driver. The output of each laser diode is coupled to an individual cable that terminates at a fiber combiner. A transmission cable is in communication with the fiber combiner and transmits the light from the source unit to a fiber splitter. The fiber optic splitter distributes the received light to a plurality of output cables each having an optical diffuser or a conversion element for converting infrared to ultraviolet light.
Claims8
A mixed and distributed laser illumination system, comprising:
