Disney patents laser system that creates bright, non-coherent light

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

The filing describes a system that combines light from two separate laser arrays with a phosphor assembly to produce a bright, non-coherent light source. A linear polarizer is used to manage the light from the first laser array before it interacts with the second array and the phosphor material.

Why it mattersThis technology could potentially improve lighting systems or projection displays by using lasers to create light that behaves more like traditional bright sources rather than focused laser beams.

In the filing’s own words

A system includes a first array of lasers, a first linear polarizer, a second array of lasers, and a phosphor assembly. The first array of lasers is configured to emit a first light. The first linear polarizer is configured to receive the first light. The second array of lasers is configured to emit a second light. The phosphor assembly is positioned to receive the first light from the first array of lasers and the second light from the second array of lasers, and to generate a non-coherent light based on a combination of the first light and the second light.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A system, comprising: a first array of lasers configured to emit a first light; a first linear polarizer configured to receive the first light; a second array of lasers configured to emit a second light; and a phosphor assembly positioned to receive the first light from the first array of lasers and the second light from the second array of lasers and to generate a non-coherent light based on a combination of the first light and the second light.
