ILLUMINATION OPTICAL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ILLUMINATION OPTICAL SYSTEM

摘要

A compact illumination optical system manufactured at reasonable cost can be provided. The illumination optical system can include: a light source for emitting a light beam; a hologram element for converting the light beam emitted from the light source to reproduced light having a predetermined shape of light distribution and a predetermined luminance distribution; a fluorescent plate containing a fluorescent material for emitting visible light by absorbing the reproduced light emitted from the hologram element and entering the fluorescent material; and a lens for projecting forward the visible light emitted from the fluorescent plate.
