本发明描述用于远程磷光体发光系统之透镜组合，及其制造及使用方法。该等透镜组合一般包括透镜部件、连接至该透镜部件之外表面之二向色反射器、及连接至该透镜部件之内表面之磷光体层。该二向色反射器将来自紧邻该内表面之参考平面中之指定光源点之LED光反射至该参考平面中之指定影像点。该磷光体层可经图案化以覆盖该内表面之一或多个第一部分且暴露一或多个第二部分，及/或该磷光体层可以可移除式地接合至该内表面。该等透镜组合可容易地与一或多个短波长(例如蓝色)LED及其他组件组合，以提供远程磷光体发光系统。

Lens assemblies for use in remote phosphor lighting systems, and methods of making and using them, are described. The lens assemblies typically include a lens member, a dichroic reflector attached to an outer surface of the lens member, and a phosphor layer attached to an inner surface of the lens member. The dichroic reflector reflects LED light originating from a given source point in a reference plane proximate the inner surface to a given image point in the reference plane. The phosphor layer may be patterned to cover one or more first portions of the inner surface and to expose one or more second portions, and/or the phosphor layer may be removably bonded to the inner surface. The lens assemblies can be readily combined with one or more short wavelength (e.g. blue) LEDs and other components to provide a remote phosphor lighting system.
