Laser-based light source with light emission control

A laser-based light source comprising at least one or more lasers, at least one conversion device and at least one manipulation device, wherein the one or more lasers are adapted to emit first laser light, wherein the first laser light comprises linearly polarized laser light with a first polarization component parallel to a plane of incidence of the first laser light with respect to a first surface of the conversion device and a second polarization component perpendicular to the plane of incidence, wherein the conversion device is adapted to convert a first part of the first laser light to first light and to reflect a second part of the first laser light at the first surface of the conversion device, wherein the first light is in a different wavelength range as the first laser light, and wherein the manipulation device is arranged to manipulate a first intensity of the first part and a second intensity of the second part using an angular dependence of the reflection of the first and the second polarization component of the first laser light at the first surface of the conversion device.
