White-light source and intraocular illumination device

A white-light source for fiber-based intraocular illumination with light of controllable spectral composition, comprising:

• at least two light sources for the provision of light beams of different colors, preferably with components substantially in the blue, the green and the red spectral range, with the red spectral range extending between wavelengths of approximately 640 nm and approximately 780 nm, the green spectral range extending between wavelengths of approximately 490 nm and approximately 570 nm and the blue spectral range extending between wavelengths of approximately 430 nm and approximately 490 nm;
• wherein the individual light beams are combined to form a common light beam (W);
• wherein the white-light source is configured for individual control of the proportions of the individual light beams in the common light beam (W);
• wherein at least one of the light sources is a laser-activated remote phosphor light source, LARP light source, having a phosphor as conversion element and a laser diode for exciting the conversion element by means of an excitation radiation(S) emitted by the laser diode.
