Original Abstract Submitted
In a lighting system, a wavelength-converting fiber includes a light inlet portion, a light outlet portion, and a wavelength-converting portion containing a wavelength-converting element. The wavelength-converting element may be excited not only by excitation light to produce a spontaneous emission of light having a longer wavelength than the excitation light but also by an amplified spontaneous emission of light. A first light source unit emits the excitation light. A second light source unit emits a seed light ray causing the wavelength-converting element that has been excited by either the excitation light P or the amplified spontaneous emission of light to produce a stimulated emission of light. An optical system makes the excitation light coming from the first light source unit and the seed light ray coming from the second light source unit incident on the light inlet portion. The output lens condenses outgoing light coming from the light outlet portion.
