1. A system comprising:
a light source configured to generate light source radiation, wherein the light source radiation at least comprises UV radiation;
a luminescent material configured to convert part of the light source radiation into luminescent material radiation, wherein the luminescent material radiation comprises one or more of visible light and infrared radiation, wherein the system is configured to generate system light comprising the light source radiation and the luminescent material radiation; and
a semi-transparent mirror configured downstream of the light source and upstream of the luminescent material, wherein the semi-transparent mirror is configured to transmit part of the UV radiation and to reflect at least part of the luminescent material radiation.
