ABSTRACT:
A vehicle lighting system using individually addressable laser diodes or laser arrays coupled to a fiber optic waveguide. A plurality of laser light sources are grouped together and conveniently located on the vehicle. Each laser light source is individually addressable and produces a beam that is coupled to a fiber optic waveguide. The waveguide distally transmits the beam to various optical loads on the vehicle. Alternatively, each fiber optic waveguide may be coupled to receive a beam from more than one laser light source. This allows switching to an operational light source should one fail. In this manner, the operational life of the system is increased.
