  • Publication number: 20230313974
    Abstract: A photoconversion device includes a first wavelength converter and a long-pass filter. The first wavelength converter receives excitation light from an output portion and emits fluorescence having a longer wavelength than the excitation light. The long-pass filter transmits the fluorescence emitted by the first wavelength converter and reflects the excitation light transmitted through or reflected from the first wavelength converter to enter the first wavelength converter.

  • Publication number: 20230231086
    Abstract: A photoconversion device includes a wavelength converter including a plurality of phosphor areas, a drive, and a controller. The plurality of phosphor areas includes a first phosphor area to emit fluorescence with a first wavelength spectrum in response to excitation light and a second phosphor area to emit fluorescence with a second wavelength spectrum different from the first wavelength spectrum in response to the excitation light. The drive changes an illuminating area to receive the excitation light in the plurality of phosphor areas. The controller drives the drive to change the illuminating area in the plurality of phosphor areas and stop driving the drive to define the illuminating area in the plurality of phosphor areas.
