OPTICAL SYSTEM PROVIDING POLARIZED LIGHT

An optical system (100) is provided, having at least one light emitting module (110) adapted to emit light, and at least one reflector (120) arranged relatively to a corresponding one of the at least one light emitting module (110) so as to receive at least some light emitted by the at least one lig...

Summary:An optical system (100) is provided, having at least one light emitting module (110) adapted to emit light, and at least one reflector (120) arranged relatively to a corresponding one of the at least one light emitting module (110) so as to receive at least some light emitted by the at least one light emitting module (110). A polarizer (130) is provided so as to transmit light having at least a first polarization direction and to reflect light having at least a second polarization direction. The light emitting module (110) comprises at least one light emitting surface portion (114) and at least one corresponding reflective surface portion (112) which are arranged point symmetrically to each other with respect to a point (116) coinciding with an optical axis (A) of the at least one reflector (120) such that at least some of the light reflected by the polarizer (130) impinges on the reflective surface portion (112). The optical system (100) is capable of outputting polarized light at a relatively high efficiency.
