Light conversion device with angular and wavelength selective coating

Abstract

The invention describes a light conversion device comprising: a light converter, wherein the light converter is adapted to convert primary light to converted light, wherein a peak emission wavelength of the converted light is in a longer wavelength range than a peak emission wavelength of the primary light, a reflective structure attached to at least a part of a front surface of the light converter, wherein the front surface defines a light emission surface of the light conversion device, wherein the reflective structure is arranged to reflect a defined part of the converted light, wherein the defined part of the converted light is characterized by a wavelength above a threshold wavelength, and wherein the light conversion device is arranged to emit at least a part of the defined part of the converted light via the light emission surface such that a color point of light emitted via the light emission surface is shifted to a longer wavelength range than obtained without emission of such part. The invention further describes a laser-based light source comprising such a light conversion device and a vehicle headlight comprising at least one such laser-based light source.
