The invention provides a light generating
system (1000) comprising light generating devices (110,120,130), a
luminescent material (200), a
control system (300),
optics (500), a polarization
control system (600), a diffuser
system (1710), and a light exit (1090); wherein: (I) each of the light generating devices (110,120,130) comprise a
solid-state
light source (10,20,30); the
luminescent material (200) is configured to convert at least part of the device light received by the
luminescent material (200) into luminescent material light (201): the diffuser
system (1710) is configured to diffuse at least part of the device light received by the diffuser system (1710) into diffused device light (711); (II) the
optics (500) comprise redirection
optics (510); wherein the redirection optics (510) comprise polarization based redirection optics (PPBS1,PBS2) and dichroic based redirection optics (DBS1,DBS2); (III) a first dichroic redirection optics (DBS1) is configured to combine first device light (111) and second device light (121) received by the first dichroic redirection optics (DBS1); the polarization
control system (600) is configured to control a polarization of device light propagating from the first dichroic redirection optics (DBS1) to the first polarization redirection optics (PPBS1) via the polarization control system (600); the first polarization redirection optics (PPBS1) is configured to
direct device light received from the first dichroic redirection optics (DBS1), in dependence of its polarization, to one or more of (a) the luminescent material (200) via second dichroic redirection optics (DBS2) and (b) the diffuser system (1710) via second polarization redirection optics (PBS2); the second dichroic redirection optics (DBS2) is configured to
direct device light received from the first polarization redirection optics (PPBS1) to the luminescent material (200) and to direct the luminescent material light (201) to the light exit (1090); the second polarization redirection optics (PBS2) is configured to direct the device light received from the first polarization redirection optics (PPBS1) to the diffuser system (1710) and to direct diffused device light (711) to the light exit (1090); and (IV) the control system (300) is configured to control a
spectral power distribution of system light (1001) of the light generating system (1000).
