Title:
MULTI-WAVELENGTH LIGHT SOURCE AND LIGHT SOURCE DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/072360
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the preset invention is to achieve high arrival efficiency for excitation light traveling from a light-emitting element to a fluorescent body and high outcoupling efficiency for light emitted externally from the fluorescent body. A multi-wavelength light source comprises: an integrated light source wherein multiple element light sources each including a light-emitting element and a collimator element are integrated side by side; a dichroic reflective element wherein regions that selectively reflect the light with the same emission wavelength as the light-emitting element are selectively provided at the points where light beams emitted from the integrated light source impinge; a condensing element for condensing a light beam; and a fluorescent body for absorbing the light with the same emission wavelength as the light-emitting element as the excitation light and emitting fluorescent light in another wavelength bandwidth. The condensing element converts a diverging light beam mixed with the fluorescent light emitted from a condensing region on the surface of the fluorescent body and the residual excitation light reflected from the condensing region into a light beam that is propagated in the direction opposite the direction of a focused light beam to form a distant image. The converted light beam passes through the dichroic reflective element and is thereby output externally as a mixed output light beam.
