Does anyone here have a ref on how to compare illumination by coherent light against non-coherent light? I'm thinking that a laser emitter might do better than my existing LED emitters, but I don't know if the illumination is 1-1 or something different. We have an existing diode at 500-800mW output covering a +/- 60 degree sweep in both directions, but I would actually prefer some compression in the vertical axis.
