Abstract
An optical wavelength conversion module having a laser light source, a lens system for managing the laser beam, and a conversion element. The laser light source generates a beam of laser light of a substantially circular cross-section having an aspect ratio of 1.3 or less. The substantially circular beam is collimated and condensed by the lenses and directed into the core of the conversion element which then emits converted light. The optical wavelength conversion module is small in size and produces converted light with high efficiency.
