  • Laser-driven white lighting system for high-brightness applications
    Patent number: 9927076
    Abstract: A high-power, high-brightness lighting system for large venue lighting, which includes a laser diode as the excitation source and one or more phosphor materials placed at a remote distance from the laser source. The invention offers a lighting system with the advantages of high brightness, high efficiency, high luminous efficacy, long lifetimes, quick turn-on times, suitable color properties, environmental sustainability, and easy maintenance, which may allow for smart and flexible control over large area lighting systems with resulting savings in operating and maintenance costs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 27, 2018
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Kristin A. Denault, Steven P. DenBaars, Ram Seshadri Seshadri
