Abstract:
A fiber light source includes a solid-state light source, a wavelength convertor, and an optical fiber. The solid-state light source is configured to emit first light, the first light including blue light with a peak wavelength in a range of 430 to 470 nm, inclusive, and green light with a peak wavelength in a range of 480 to 550 nm, inclusive. The wavelength convertor is disposed on the light output side or the light incident side of the optical fiber and contains a red phosphor. The red phosphor includes Ce as a luminescent center, and is excited by at least part of the green light to emit second light. The second light has a spectrum with a peak wavelength in a range of 600 to 700 nm, inclusive. The red phosphor contains a nitride or an oxynitride as a host material.
