10. A method comprising:
-
identifying a desired output spectral range of a light to be produced from an illumination source; determining a driving pulse for the illumination source to extract the light at the desired output spectral range at a duration so that a thermal load on the illumination source is reduced, the duration of the driving pulse is of a width which reduces output from a non-desired output spectral range of the light; and illuminating the illumination source at the determined driving pulse to produce the light at the desired output spectral range while reducing the non-desired output spectral range of the light. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory processor readable storage medium, providing an executable computer program product, the executable computer program product comprising a computer software code that, when executed on a processor, causes the processor to:
-
determine a driving pulse for the illumination source to extract a light at a desired output spectral range at a duration so that a thermal load on the illumination source is reduced, the duration of the driving pulse is of a width which reduces output from a non-desired output spectral range of the light; and command the illumination source to illuminate at the driving pulse to produce the desired output spectral range. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
