Abstract
A system and method for providing a fiber array light source with individually controlled multiple-wavelength outputs are disclosed. A single spatial light modulator (SLM) outputs an image light of a first wavelength and an image light of a second wavelength. An overlap image is produced based on the image light of the first and second wavelengths. A fiber array receives light associated with the overlap image so that each individual optical fiber in the fiber array corresponds to multiple pixels on the SLM.
