Background
In recent years, lasers and their applications are being developed vigorously, and among them, white laser modules are an important development direction for laser applications. White light laser modules can be used for lighting, surveying, stage lighting, and the like.
The white light laser generation module couples the RGB laser into a light beam, so that the white light laser output is realized. To uniformly mix the three lasers and facilitate manipulation of the beam, the three lasers are typically coupled into an optical fiber. In order to increase the optical power, array laser light sources are often used in the prior art to replace single lasers.
In the prior art, a laser focusing system can couple array space laser beams to optical fibers to realize white light output.

In addition, high-power laser easily generates heat in the use process, the focal length of a laser focusing system can shift due to the change of temperature, and the coupling efficiency of the white light laser module is reduced due to the factor.
