The invention relates to a laser-based light source comprising a laser device (1) adapted for generating laser light of a predetermined laser wavelength and emitting this laser light as a laser beam; a light-conversion device (2) for converting at least part of the laser light into converted light; a laser-output sensor (7) for determining a laser-output signal proportional to the output of laser light emitted by the laser device (1); a converted-light sensor (6) for determining a converted-light signal proportional to the output of converted light emitted by the light-conversion device (7); and a controller (9) which is adapted for receiving the laser-output signal and the converted-light signal, for determining a safe-to-operate parameter, based on the laser-output signal and the converted-light signal, and for controlling the operation of the laser-based light source, based on a comparison of the safe-to-operate parameter with a at least one predefined threshold. In this way, a laser-based light source is proposed which enables reliable eye-safety in an easy way. |
