Speckle removal in a pulsed hyperspectral imaging system

A system comprising:

• a coherent light source for emitting pulses of coherent light;
• a fiber optic bundle connected to the coherent light source;
• an image sensor comprising a pixel array for sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation;
• a vibrating mechanism attached to the fiber optic bundle;
• and
• a controller in electronic communication with the coherent light source and the image sensor and configured to synchronize timing of the coherent light source and the image sensor;
• wherein at least a portion of the pulses of coherent light emitted by the coherent light source comprises one or more of:
• electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 513 nm to about 545 nm;
• electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 565 nm to about 585 nm;
• or
• electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 900 nm to about 1000 nm.
