Abstract
A solid-state light source includes a semiconductor light source for emitting light and an optical system having a fiber optic element. The fiber optic element has an input for receiving emitted light from the semiconductor light source. The fiber optic element also has an output for emitting light received from the solid-state light source. The semiconductor light source and the fiber optic element in aggregate form an illumination path.

77. A solid-state light source for providing light, the solid-state light source comprising:
-
a semiconductor light source for emitting light; a fiber optic element coupled to the semiconductor light source, the fiber optic element comprising a fiber optic line having an input at a proximal end for receiving emitted light from the semiconductor light source and an output at a distal end for emitting light through a distal end of the fiber optic element, the semiconductor light source and the fiber optic element in aggregate providing an illumination path; and a phosphor layer located along the illumination path, wherein the phosphor layer does not contact the semiconductor light source. - View Dependent Claims (78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 92)
