Abstract:
A light source includes a plurality of laser diodes or other light emitters. Beams of light from the light emitters are steered to provide n array of parallel beams that illuminate a target area with an array of patches of light. In some embodiments the parallel beams are de-magnified to form the array of patches of light. Such a light source has application in illuminating dynamically-addressable focusing elements such as phase modulators, deformable mirrors and dynamically addressable lenses. Light projectors for a wide variety of applications may combine a light source as described herein with a dynamically-addressable focusing element to project defined patterns of light.

Claim (Index 1):
A light source comprising:\n a plurality of light emitters, each of the light emitters operable to emit a corresponding beam of light; one or more mirrors arranged to redirect the beams of light to provide a closely-spaced array of parallel light beams; and a dynamically-addressable focusing element illuminated by the closely-spaced array of parallel light beams the dynamically-addressable focusing element having an active area substantially covered by an array of patches of light, each of the patches of light corresponding to one of the light beams in the closely-spaced array of parallel light beams.
