Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for rotatable light sources and associated pulse detection and imaging systems and methods. In one example, a laser light source includes a laser light emitter configured to transmit a laser light beam. The laser light source includes an optical element configured to disperse the laser light beam to provide a vertical plane of light. The laser light source includes a control device configured to rotate the optical element. Rotation of the optical element causes rotation of the vertical plane of light. Related systems and methods are also provided.
Claims20
A laser light source comprising:
- a laser light emitter configured to transmit a laser light beam;
- an optical element configured to disperse the laser light beam to provide a vertical plane of laser light;
- and
- a control device configured to rotate the optical element, wherein rotation of the optical element causes rotation of the vertical plane of light.
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a laser light source, a laser light beam;
- dispersing, by an optical element, the laser light beam to provide a vertical plane of light;
- and
- rotating, by a control device, the optical element, wherein rotation of the optical element causes rotation of the vertical plane of light.
