Abstract
A photon conversion assembly. A first filter assembly is configured to transmit photons in at least one received band in a downstream direction of an optical pathway and to reflect photons in at least one converted band that are moving in an upstream direction of the optical pathway. A photon conversion material has a first side and a second side. The first side is downstream of the first filter assembly, and the second side is upstream of a second filter assembly. The photon conversion material is configured to convert photons in at least one received band to photons in at least one converted band. A second filter assembly is configured to transmit photons in the at least one converted band in a downstream direction of the optical pathway and to reflect photons in the at least one received band that are moving in the downstream direction of the optical pathway.
