Patent ID: 8096676

Claim:
A light source configuration comprising: a movable member connected to a movable member actuator; at least one light-emitting phosphor region associated with the movable member; a first input light source configured to illuminate the at least one light-emitting phosphor region with input light at a first illuminated spot that is fixed relative to a first emitted light output coupling region; and a light source controller operably connected to the movable member actuator and the first input light source, wherein: the at least one light-emitting phosphor region associated with the movable member is distributed over an area of at least 25 times a nominal area of the first emitted light output coupling region, and the at least one light-emitting phosphor region is configured to emit light in the first emitted light output coupling region in response to the input light at the first illuminated spot; and the light source configuration is configured to move the at least one light-emitting phosphor region across the first illuminated spot while the at least one light-emitting phosphor region is emitting light in the first emitted light output coupling region in response to the input light at the first illuminated spot.
