A Laser Light Source For Endoscopy, by James Larimer, PhD.
This white paper makes the case for the potential benefits to be gained by replacing today's arc lamp illumination sources with a laser light source for endoscopic surgery. The primary advantage of a laser lamp is that it is many times brighter than an arc lamp illuminator. Bright illumination increases the signal amplitude and absolute luminance differences in spatial details within the image formed on the endoscope camera's sensor. The resulting higher signal contrast results in improved image quality. More...
