laser light

2014

The goal of this work was to bring new technology into the field of interior lighting. This is why I chose a laser diode combined with the unique technology of mono crystal light converter as the source of light. During the design of this interior light I attempted to take advantage of the optical characteristics of this specific light source. Among these characteristics is the ability to create thin rays of monochromatic radiation, that is constantly transmitted through any distance until it hits the first obstacle on its path on which it disperses itself. In order for the light to be pleasing and natural for the human eye, it must first be changed from a monochromatic blue to a white light. This change can be attained when we let the blue ray fall upon a material (in this case a crystal made of special material) which partly absorbs the blue light and emits a red spectrum. This phenomenon was key in this design and I wanted to make it the center of interest. I was also interested in the overall safety of the light. There can be absolutely no contact between the laser and a human eye. I counted with this requirement in my designs and invested time into figuring it out. I wanted to attain a minimalist shape with a tint of the future.
