System and method for thermal management of a laser system

Abstract

A system and method for thermal management of an optical system. The system comprises at least one laser unit configured for operating in periods of at least a first high power output mode and a second low power output mode, an optical arrangement configured for receiving output beam of the at least one laser unit and for directing the input beam for generating at least one illumination spot having at least one of a selected spot location and selected spot parameters, and a thermal management system. Wherein the thermal management module is configured and operable for maintaining increased thermal conditions of the optical arrangement when the at least one laser unit is in the second low power output mode.
