Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An integrated light source for communication and dynamic spatial illumination comprising:
a modem configured for receiving data signals;
a laser modulation driver coupled to the modem to generate a driving current and provide a modulation format based on the data signals;
a laser device driven by the driving current to emit a laser light with a first peak wavelength modulated according to the modulation format;
an optical pathway for guiding the laser light;
a wavelength converting element configured to couple with the optical pathway to receive the laser light with a first peak wavelength and reemit a white-color light excited by converting a fraction of the laser light with the first peak wavelength to a spectrum with a second peak wavelength longer than the first peak wavelength, wherein the white-color light carries the data signal in the modulation format; and
a beam steering optical element configured to receive one or more voltage and current signals generated by a beam steering driver based on input information to dynamically scan the white-color light to provide patterned illuminations to multiple areas and simultaneously transmit the data signals to different receivers at the multiple areas.
