The invention provides a light generating
system (1000) comprising a multi-
chip laser package (2000), a
luminescent material (200 ), and
optics (500), wherein: (A) the multi-
chip laser package (2000) comprises (i) a first series (51) of first
solid state
laser devices (110), configured to generate first
laser light (111 ) having a first peak
wavelength (λp1), (ii) a second series (52) of second
solid state laser devices (120) configured to generate second
laser light (121 ) having a second peak
wavelength (λp2), and (iii) a third series (53) of third
solid state laser devices (130) configured to generate third
laser light (131 ) having a third peak
wavelength (λp3); wherein the multi-
chip laser
package (2000) further comprises a support (2300) configured to support the
solid state laser devices (110, 120, 130,...); (B) the first peak wavelength (λp1) and the second peak wavelength (λp2) are independently selected from the
wavelength range of 440-490 nm, and the third peak wavelength (λp3) is selected from the range of 590-780 nm; (C) the
luminescent material (200) is configured in a transmissive mode downstream of the first
solid state laser devices (110) and is configured to convert at least part of the first laser light (111) into
luminescent material light (201 ) having one or more wavelengths in the
wavelength range of 490-590 nm and having a
centroid wavelength (λcL); wherein λcL ≥ λp1+15 nm, λcL ≥ λp2+15 nm, and λcL ≤ λp3 - 15 nm; (D) the luminescent material (200) and, the second
solid state laser devices (120), and the third
solid state laser devices (130) are configured such that during operation of the second
solid state laser devices (120) and the third
solid state laser devices (130) the second laser light (121) and the third laser light (131) bypasses the luminescent material (200); (E) the light generating
system (1000) is configured to provide in a first operational mode of the light generating
system (1001) white system light (1001) comprising the luminescent material light (201), the second laser light (121), and the third laser light (131); and (F) the
optics (500) are configured to one or more of (a) mix different light contributions to the system light (1001), and (b)
beam shape the system light (1001).
