Abstract
A projector includes a laser light source and a glass wheel. The laser source is configured to generate laser light. The glass wheel is optically coupled to the laser source. The glass wheel includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is configured to receive the laser light, and includes a light direction device optically coupled to the laser source. The second surface is opposite the first surface and is configured to emit light. The second surface includes a first arc of a phosphor deposited at a first distance from a center of the glass wheel. The light direction device is configured to direct the laser light to the first arc of the phosphor. The second surface also includes a second arc of the phosphor deposited at a second distance from the center of the glass wheel.
