Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical technology, and more particularly, to an optical system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Solid-state light source has been widely applied in general lighting, special lighting and projection display due to its long service life, energy saving and environmental protection and other characteristics. Laser is another emerging solid-state light source after LED. One of the main ways of laser lighting is that laser irradiates on a wavelength conversion unit, and the wavelength conversion unit converts the laser into illumination light. For a high-power laser module, the laser is usually emitted by a laser array composed of multiple lasers. After the laser irradiates on the wavelength conversion unit, the laser is converted into illumination light, and then the illumination light is collected by a light collecting assembly. However, the beam quality product BPP (Beam-parameter product) of the laser emitted by the laser array in the x y direction is usually not equal, thereby causing the laser spot to be non-uniform in the x y direction, which affects the excitation of the wavelength conversion unit by the laser. In order to concentrate energy and achieve good excitation effect, the laser spot of the laser emitted by the laser array also needs to be shaped. In addition, when the laser irradiates on a wavelength conversion unit such as a fluorescent powder sheet, the light is basically emitted at an angle of 180 degrees. If the light cannot be well collected, the brightness will be significantly reduced, and therefore a light collecting assembly with a large numerical aperture (NA) needs to be added to collect the light to meet the brightness requirement.
