    Abstract: An illumination system and a projection device are provided. The illumination system includes at least one laser light source providing at least one laser beam and a polarizing rotation module including a first axle, a first driving element, and a polarizing element. The first axle has a first revolution frequency. The polarizing element is disposed on a transmission path of the laser beam.
