Lamp with high efficiency linear polarized light output

A light source system comprising:

• a lamp base with electrical connections;
• a filament or gas discharge illumination source that generates illumination with the action of an electrical current flowing through the assembly;
• a candoluminescent structure in the lamp to act as a secondary luminescence source;
• a dichroic filter, which transmit light wavelengths of a selected band and reflects light wavelengths of the undesirable band;
• a reflector shaped to provide directional output from the lamps source with such reflector having its inner surface coated with an optical coating to reflect the wavelength band;
• wherein what is unique is the reflective dichroic filter in conjunction with the lamp reflector act as a radiation energy trap, directing the trapped radiation to the candoluminescent structure and allowing the converted wavelength bands to exit the energy trap;
• wherein what is unique is the reflector is shaped in a elliptical pattern or circular pattern to shape the output beam in a more rectangular pattern or circular to match the desired illumination application;
• wherein what is unique is the candoluminescent material is housed in a inner transparent container;
• wherein what is unique is the candoluminescent material may be placed in proximity of the filament, not requiring a reflector to recycle the energy, with the candoluminescent structure acting as a secondary luminescence source within the lamp heated to luminescence directly by the lamp filament.

A light source system comprising:

• a lamp base with electrical connections;
• a filament or gas discharge illumination source that generates illumination with the action of an electrical current flowing through the assembly;
• a candoluminescent structure in the lamp to act as a secondary luminescence source;
• a polarization mirror to transmit the desirable polarization and reflect the orthogonal polarization;
• a filter to transmit the desirable wavebands and reflect the undesirable wavebands;
• a internal candoluminescent secondary luminescence source that generates desirable illumination by one or more heat sources, the sources being direct heating by the filament, or recycled energy from the polarization filter, or recycled energy from the discriminative wavelength filter;
• a reflector with polarization randomization ability;
• wherein what is unique is the light source utilizes both polarization recycling and wavelength recycling;
• wherein what is unique is the candoluminescent structure is heated by two or more methods, the methods being direct heating by the filament, or direct heating by the reflected polarization energy, or direct heating by the reflected wavelength energy;
• wherein what is unique is use of candoluminescent material in a lamp to act as a secondary luminary source;
• wherein the reflector may be of elliptical or circular shape to provide the desirable output shape.
