Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A laser-operated light source includes a chamber for accommodating an ionizable gas and an ignition source for ionizing the gas in the chamber for generating plasma. Also, the light source includes a laser for inputting laser energy into the plasma. Under the impact of a laser beam, the plasma emits useful light to form an output signal of the light source. Provided is a means for coupling the useful light inside a transmission optical fiber. In case of the light source according to the present invention, at least one mode scrambler is allocated to the optical fiber or optical fibers. Accordingly, the present invention can improve optical quality. 레이저-작동 광원은 이온화 가능 가스를 수용하는 챔버 및 플라즈마를 발생시키기 위하여 챔버내의 가스를 이온화하는 점화원을 포함한다. 또한, 광원은 플라즈마내로 레이저 에너지를 입력하는 레이저를 포함하고, 레이저광선의 충돌하에서 플라즈마는 유용한 광을 방출하고 이는 광원의 출력 신호를 형성한다. 여기서, 유용한 광을 전달 광 섬유내로 커플링하기 위한 수단이 제공된다. 본 발명에 따른 광원의 경우, 적어도 하나의 모드 스크램블러가 광 섬유 또는 광 섬유들에 할당된다.
