Or combining a plurality of single-mode laser beams into one larger beam by means of an optical phased array and the like, and independently controlling each laser by means of optical means such as diffraction focusing and the like, wherein the laser light of the single laser overlaps with other beams in a far field to generate a diffraction pattern. The effect of dynamically modulating the power field can thus be achieved by manipulating the position angle of the diffractive optical lens group of the laser array. The multi-laser light source scheme has the defects of complex structure, high manufacturing cost, high requirement on the assembly precision of equipment and the like of an optical device.
