Abstract:
Frequency-based mode mixing may be used to homogenize different modes in an optical fiber used for surgical illumination. A laser modulator may introduce frequency modulation to laser light to generate a homogeneous illumination field due to increased mode mixing in the optical fiber.

Claim (Index 10):
A device for surgical illumination, the device comprising:\n a coherent light source for generating first light having a first frequency for illumination of a patient during a surgery; a laser modulator for receiving the first light and for modulating the first frequency of the first light to generate second light; an optical fiber for receiving the second light; and a second optical fiber receiving the second light from the optical fiber, the second optical fiber projecting the second light onto the patient.
