Convert PHP variable into Javascript Variable with escaping character

Question

I've been trying to convert a php variable into a java script variable. At the same time I want to save it in a format with HTML tags. The problem is I'm Unable to escape the '<' this character in code.

 var lecturers = [
     @foreach ($Lecturers as $L)
       '{{ '<option>'.$L->Name.'</option>' }}',
     @endforeach
 ];

The Output I received through console log is as follows

["&lt;option&gt;&lt;/option&gt;", "&lt;option&gt;&lt;/option&gt;", "&lt;option&gt;&lt;/option&gt;"]

How can i get the output as

"<option> Name </option>"

I'm using laravel as Framework.

You have to use {!! !!} instead to avoid escaping:

var lecturers = [
     @foreach ($Lecturers as $L)
       '{!! '<option>'.$L->Name.'</option>' !!}',
     @endforeach
 ];
