Abstract
A light emitting device comprises a plurality of coherent light sources, and a plurality of light scattering structures. Each light scattering structure is located in an optical path for light output from a different corresponding one of the coherent light sources. Each light scattering structure comprises an arrangement of nanoantennas embedded in an electrically responsive material and electrical contacts by which to apply a voltage to the electrically responsive material. Application of a time varying electrical signal causes the refractive index of the electrically responsive material in a light scattering structure to vary and thereby varies light scattering by the nanoantennas in the light scattering structure. This effect may be used to reduce speckle caused by interference of light output by the coherent light sources.
