Modular light source

1. A light source, comprising:

a plurality of modules, each module including:

a plate including:

a first edge;

a second edge, the first edge being opposite the second edge;

a first mount on the first edge; and

a second mount on the second edge;

a communication connector;

a power connector; and

an emitter array mounted on the plate extending from the first edge to the second edge;

conductors extending a length on a side of the light source, the conductors arranged to connect to the power connector on each module, each module removable without affecting other connections to other modules; and

a coolant manifold including a plurality of valves; wherein

each module includes a plurality of valves and a plurality of tubes, each valve coupled to the plate through a corresponding tube; and

each valve of the valves of the modules is coupled to a corresponding valve of the valves of the coolant manifold.

2. The light source of claim 1 , wherein each of the valves of the coolant manifold and the modules is a quick-connect valve.

3. The light source of claim 1 , further comprising:

a chassis having an opening;

wherein the modules are disposed in the chassis such that for each module, the emitter array is exposed by the opening of the chassis.

4. The light source of claim 3 , further comprising:

a first coolant sensor disposed at a first end of the chassis; and

a second coolant sensor disposed at a second end of the chassis.

5. The light source of claim 3 , further comprising a substantially transparent window covering the opening.

6. The light source of claim 5 , further comprising a sensor disposed to sense light emitted from an edge of the window.

7. The light source of claim 1 , wherein the conductors comprise busbars extending along a length of the light source.

8. The light source of claim 1 , wherein the connectors include a plurality of contacts, each contact including a threaded section;

wherein:

each contact of the power connector is coupled to a corresponding conductor coupled to the modules by a nut engaged with the threaded section.

9. The light source of claim 1 , wherein the module includes at least one bracket, wherein each bracket comprises:

a first surface;

a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface; and

a third surface substantially parallel to the first surface.

10. The light source of claim 9 , wherein for a first module and a second module of the plurality of modules:

the first edge of the first module is adjacent the second edge of the second module;

the first mount of the first module is adjacent to the second mount of the second module;

a bracket of the at least one bracket is mounted on the first mount of the first module and the second mount of the second module.

11. The light source of claim 1 , wherein the module includes at least one bracket, the light source further comprising:

a chassis;

wherein:

the at least one bracket includes a plurality of brackets;

a bracket of the plurality of brackets is mounted to a first mount of one of the modules and the chassis.

12. The light source of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of brackets is substantially similar.

13. The light source of claim 1 , further comprising a cable including a connector for each connector of the modules.
