Utility
System and Method for Reduced-speckle Laser Line Generation
27 Jul 23
An illumination apparatus for reducing speckle effect in light reflected off an illumination target includes a laser; a linear diffuser positioned in an optical path between an illumination target and the laser to diffuse collimated laser light in a planar fan of diffused light that spreads in one dimension across at least a portion of the illumination target; and a beam deflector to direct the collimated laser light incident on the beam deflector to sweep across different locations on the linear diffuser within an exposure time for illumination of the illumination target by the diffused light.
