SPHERICALLY EMITTING REMOTE PHOSPHOR

摘要

Light sources comprise an emitter of photostimulative light, such as one or more blue LEDs, a reflector, which may be a diverging cone, disposed to reflect light from the LEDs towards an exit aperture, a tailored aspheric lens that further collimates the light from the reflector, a short-pass filter receiving and transmitting the collimated light, a dielectric concentrator receiving the light transmitted by the filter from the LEDs and concentrating it upon the exit aperture, a dielectric emission optic on the outside of the exit aperture to receive the concentrated light, and a layer of photosensitive phosphor deposited on the outside of the emission optic, the phosphor responsive to the LED light to emit light of a longer wavelength.
