Abstract: An optical element (1) comprises: a body (2) of radiation converting monocrystalline material, e.g. of a luminescent or scintillator material, and an extraction structure (4, 6) applied to at least one output or input surface of the body (2); wherein the extraction structure (4, 6) is constructed and configured such that radiation at an output (19) of the body (2) is directionally modified, especially in terms of energy or intensity or of directional distribution or of both, as compared with radiation at the output of the body (2) in the absence of said extraction structure (4, 6), by interaction of radiation entering and/or propagating within and/or exiting the body (2) with the said extraction structure (4, 6), e.g. such as to reduce or ameliorate the deleterious effects of TIR within the body (2).

Abstract: The light source includes a high-efficiency solid-state laser source emitting excitation coherent radiation, and a single crystal phosphor forming an optic element for receiving the excitation coherent radiation and emitting light with desired parameters. The single crystal phosphor is made of garnets conforming to the general formula (Ax,Lu1-x)aAlbO12:Cec formula, or from a single crystal material of perovskite structure conforming to the general formula B1-gAlO3:Dq.

Abstract: The light source is based on a high-efficiency solid-state laser source of the excitation coherent radiation and a single crystal phosphor which is machined in a form of an optic element for emitted light parameterisation. The single crystal phosphor is produced from a single crystal material on the basis of garnets of the (Ax, Lu1-x)aAlbO12:Cec general formula or from a single crystal material on the basis of perovskite structure of the B1-qAlO3:Dq general formula. The efficient light source shall be utilized e.g. in the automotive industry.
