• Color camera

Laser light sources that emit coherent light are significantly different from conventional lighting sources. The emission spectrum of a laser light source is usually very narrow, with a line width of only about 1/10 of a megahertz. Additionally, the beam divergence is also very small, on the order of milliradians. Laser light sources can be divided into two models: the free-space model, where the beam emission section is in free space and optical components are used for beam steering, and the fiber coupling model, which implements optical fibers. In the case of the fiber coupling model, the fiber end of the light emission section is fixed toward the location where the beam is to be propagated, eliminating the need for optical components for beam steering. It should be noted that when coupling a laser light source to an optical fiber, the light emitted from the fiber is not a collimated beam but a divergent beam.
