you carbon CarbonPeriod

use Carbon\CarbonPeriod;


$period = new CarbonPeriod('03:00', '15 minutes', '14:00'); // for create use 24 hours format later change format 
$slots = [];
foreach($period as $item){
    array_push($slots,$item->format("h:i A"));
}

return $slots;

as per your req. you need to use like this


$today =  today()->format('Y-m-d') . " 2:00 PM";
$tomorrow =  today()->addDays('1')->format('Y-m-d')  . " 3:00 AM";
$period = new CarbonPeriod(new Carbon($today), '15 minutes', new Carbon($tomorrow));
$slots = [];
foreach ($period as $item) {
    array_push($slots, $item->format("h:i A"));
}

it retrun

Here is a framework agnostic function

 /**
         * get a list of hours btw two range
         *
         * @param int  $lower  start hours in secondes
         * @param int  $upper  end hours in secondes
         * @param int  $step   hop btw hours in seconde
         * @param null $format output hours format
         *
         * @return array with hours range interval  
         * Exemple of use: // Every 30 Minutes from 8 AM - 5 PM, using Custom Time Format:  hoursRange( 28800, 61200, 60 * 30, 'h:i a' );
         */
       function hoursRange($lower = 0, $upper = 86400, $step = 1800, $format = 'H:i')
        {
            $times = [];
    
            if (empty($format))
            {
                $format = 'H:i';
            }
    
            foreach (range($lower, $upper, $step) as $increment)
            {
                $increment = gmdate('H:i', $increment);
                list($hour, $minutes) = explode(':', $increment);
    
                $date = new \DateTime($hour.':'.$minutes);
    
                $times[(string)$increment] = $date->format($format);
            }
    
            return $times;
        }

Example of use with output:

hoursRange(0, 86400, 1800, 'H:i')
