More Information
Summary:An ophthalmic illumination apparatus includes a light source operable to generate a light beam and a filtering mirror configured to generate an infrared (IR) filtered light beam by reflecting at least a portion of wavelengths of the light beam in the visible spectrum while filtering out at least a portion of wavelengths of the light beam in the IR spectrum. The ophthalmic illumination apparatus further includes a collimator configured to receive at least a portion of the IR filtered light beam and generate a collimated light beam and a condenser configured to couple at least a portion of the collimated light beam into an optical fiber.
