Assembly (1) comprising a laser source (3) and a component for reducing speckle (7) comprising a beam splitter (9) that reflects a first portion (11) of the laser beam and transmits a second portion (13) and a first and second reflecting means (15, 17), the first reflective means (15) receiving the second portion (13) of the laser beam and the second reflective means (17) directing said second portion (13) back to the beam splitter (9), wherein the second portion (13) of the laser beam can be directed from the first (15) to the the second reflective means (17), wherein the first (15), the second (17) reflective means and the means for beam splitting (9) define an optical path for the second portion (13) of the laser beam, the length of which being equal to, or greater than, the coherence length of the laser beam.
