WHITE-LIGHT SOURCE AND INTRAOCULAR ILLUMINATION DEVICE

Abstract

A white-light source for fiber-based intraocular illumination is light of controllable, spectrally broad composition and to an intraocular illumination device with corresponding controllability. Specifically, the white-light source for fiber-based intraocular illumination with light of controllable spectral composition includes 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; 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.
