A solid state, yellow-white emitting light source has been manufactured employing a YAG:Ce single crystal as a wavelength conversion material to analyze the conversion process quantitatively and also to explore the ultimate limit of the conversion efficiency. Excitation polarized coherent blue light is incident on to the crystal at the Brewster angle and is multiply reflected inside the crystal with internal total reflection. The generated light is shown to be efficiently extracted by providing a light guide with a suitable shape at the front surface of the crystal.
