Abstract
A dual-output light source includes a laser-driven light source that generates light from a thermal plasma over an angular range of emission of at least 180 degrees. A first and second off-axis conical mirror are positioned within the at least 180 degrees of emission of the thermal plasma so that light generated by the plasma propagating from a first region of emission strikes a first focal point of the first off-axis conical mirror and light generated by the plasma propagating from a second region of emission strikes a first focal point of the second off-axis conical mirror. The first and second off-axis conical mirrors reflect light in a respective and first and second optical paths. A first optical filter having a first bandwidth is positioned in the first optical path. A second optical filter having a second bandwidth is positioned in the second optical path.
