  • Patent number: 9885864
    Abstract: The invention proposes a lighting device (1) comprising a wavelength conversion arrangement (12) and a static band-stop filter (14). The wavelength conversion arrangement (12) comprises two wavelength conversion elements, which can be excited to emit conversion light by means of excitation radiation emitted by an excitation source (2). In order to increase the color space which is addressable by means of the two wavelength conversion elements, with the aid of the band-stop filter (14) the shorter dominant wavelength of the conversion light of both wavelength conversion elements is shortened and the longer dominant wavelength is lengthened. For this purpose, the peak wavelength of the band-stop filter (14) is chosen such that it lies between the two dominant wavelengths of the conversion light emitted by the two wavelength conversion elements. The use of a static band-stop filter (14) designed in this way makes it possible to dispense with separate filter elements for each wavelength conversion element.
