US Patent 11674677 Controlling the integral light energy of a laser pulse

A system for providing illumination for an endoscope device. The system includes a light source comprising light bundles, wherein each light bundle comprises light emitters. The light source sequentially pulses electromagnetic energy in individual electromagnetic partitions, where each of the plurality of light bundles corresponds to one of the individual electromagnetic partitions. The system includes an electromagnetic sensor embedded within the light source to sense electromagnetic energy emitted from at least one, but less than all, of the light emitters within each of the light bundles. The system includes a control circuit in electronic communication with the electromagnetic sensor and at least one of the light emitters, wherein the electromagnetic sensor receives electromagnetic energy from at least one of the light emitters, and wherein the electromagnetic sensor measures an amount of electromagnetic energy generated by the at least one of the light emitters.
