One alternative is to use a gas laser, with its regulated power supply, a water cooling system, a vacuum pump, a gas supply, etc. Another alternative is to use a simple AC arc lamp powered with a simple transformer and air cooled. | |
| May 31, 2015 at 19:48 | comment | added | Dan | the wiki on lasers discusses the advantages of a spatially coherent light source as a means for producing highly concentrated spots of light. Perhaps you could expand or clarify your question in the context that information. | |
