  • Patent number: 9175829
    Abstract: Various embodiments propose an illumination apparatus having a laser apparatus and a phosphor wheel, wherein the phosphor wheel has, in addition to at least one phosphor region for phosphor conversion, at least one transmission region for colored light having a second, greater dominance wavelength from a light source. The beam paths from light source and laser apparatus are e.g. arranged collinearly, wherein the phosphor wheel rotates into the common optical axis of the laser apparatus and light source. By adding colored light having a greater dominance wavelength, the dominance wavelength of a colored light channel that is required for projection applications can also be obtained with colored light converted using efficient phosphor having a dominance wavelength that is too small.

  • Publication number: 20150267880
    Abstract: A lighting device comprising a phosphor wheel configured such that it temporarily sequentially not only emits the excitation light in a wavelength-converted fashion as conversion light but additionally reflects said excitation light in an unconverted fashion as reflection light. Conversion light and reflection light are guided spatially separately on a conversion light path and reflection light path, respectively, with the aid of a first dichroic mirror and are finally combined with the aid of a second dichroic mirror. In this way, it is possible to combine the reflection light for example as a blue light channel with the conversion light.
