Abstract

A method and device for aligning a light spot of light exiting from at least one light guide on an optical converter are provided. The device includes a light guide from which light exits and is incident on an optical converter to at least a substantial fraction, thereby forming a light spot thereon, wherein the exit surface of the fiber has an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the fiber which is different from 0°, and the position of the light spot on the converter is aligned by adjusting the angle. A conversion module as a part of a lighting device is also provided that is operated with excitation light of a light source using a fiber-optical light guide.
