    Abstract: An optical device is provided. The optical device includes an excitation light source that emits excitation light. A first optical fiber guides the excitation light emitted from the excitation light source. A fluorescent plate includes a fluorescent light emitter that receives the excitation light guided by the first optical fiber and emits fluorescent light. The fluorescent plate further includes a dichroic mirror on a side of the fluorescent light emitter that receives the excitation light. The dichroic mirror transmits the excitation light and reflects the fluorescent light.

    Abstract: A luminaire including a wavelength converter and a method of manufacturing the luminaire are provided. The wavelength converter radiates, based on a laser light beam, a light beam having a wavelength different from the laser light beam. The method of measuring the luminaire includes measuring wavelengths of laser light beams oscillated by a plurality of laser elements to identify main wavelengths of the plurality of laser elements, storing association information between main wavelength information items indicating the main wavelengths identified and element information items identifying the plurality of laser elements corresponding to the main wavelengths identified, selecting a combination of laser elements having a composite wavelength falling within a predetermined range, from the plurality of laser elements, based on the association information, and arranging optical paths to irradiate a same area of the wavelength converter with the laser light beams of the combination of laser elements selected.

    Abstract: A wavelength conversion device for laser light including a laser light source that emits laser light having a predetermined wavelength; a first substrate that is light-transmissive; a second substrate that is light-transmissive; a phosphor layer provided between and in surface contact with the first substrate and the second substrate, the phosphor layer converting a wavelength of the laser light; and a gap-maintaining component located between the first substrate and the second substrate, the gap-maintaining component adjusting a thickness of the phosphor layer by maintaining a uniform distance between the first substrate and the second substrate. Each of the first substrate and the second substrate has a thermal conductivity higher than a thermal conductivity of the phosphor layer. The gap-maintaining component is a plurality of thickness adjustment particles that are light-transmissive and have a shape having a substantially equal diameter, and the shape is one of wire-shaped, ring-shaped, and protruding.

    Abstract: A light-emitting apparatus includes a first light guide, a converter, a second light guide, and a return. The first light guide includes a first photoreceptor, a second photoreceptor, and a leak. The first light guide guides first light radiated by a radiation apparatus and received by the first photoreceptor and the second photoreceptor. The leak allows second light to be leaked out in a direction crossing a light-guiding direction. The second light is part of the first light. The converter is disposed along the first light guide and converts a wavelength of the second light leaked out of the first light guide. The second light guide does not include the leak and guides third light radiated by the radiation apparatus toward the second photoreceptor. The return returns the third light guided by the second light guide.
