ABSTRACT:
An apparatus provides a safer, high brightness glare or illumination source. The apparatus comprises a laser to emit a light beam, and a magnifying telescope, including a negative lens to expand the light beam and a positive lens to collimate the expanded light beam. The apparatus also includes a holographic diffuser to receive the collimated light beam and to produce a diffused light beam. The diffused light beam has an extended cross section and provides an extended glare source at increased power down range.
