The wavelength converter includes: a substrate; a phosphor layer disposed on the substrate; and a light reflective layer disposed on the substrate so as to surround the phosphor layer. The phosphor layer includes phosphor particles and a first matrix material in which the phosphor particles are dispersed. The light reflective layer includes inorganic compound particles and a second matrix material in which the inorganic compound particles are dispersed. The inorganic compound particles have a refractive index higher than that of the first matrix material. The first matrix material has a refractive index higher than that of the phosphor particles. The phosphor particles have a refractive index higher than that of the second matrix material.
Abstract:
A wavelength conversion member includes a heat conductor, a light guide path and a wavelength converter. The heat conductor has a recessed portion and an opening extending through the heat conductor. The light guide path includes a transparent material with which the opening is filled. The light guide path includes a light exit port disposed on a side of the recessed portion and a light incident port disposed on a side opposite to the recessed portion. The wavelength converter converts first light having a first peak wavelength incident through the light guide path into second light having a second peak wavelength different from the first peak wavelength. The wavelength converter is disposed in contact with the heat conductor, at least a part of the wavelength converter being embedded in the recessed portion.
