    Abstract: A light-source device includes an excitation light source to emit first color light; an optical member having a reflecting surface to reflect the first color light; a wavelength conversion unit including a wavelength conversion member on which the first color light reflected by the optical member is incident, the wavelength conversion member to convert at least part of the first color light into second color light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the first color light and emit the second color light; and a light condensing element to condense the first color light emitted from the wavelength conversion unit. A straight line including a first optical path from a center of a flux of light rays emitted from the excitation light source, to the center of the first color light on the reflecting surface does not intersect with a light flux condensed by the light condensing element.

    Abstract: A light source optical system includes: a first optical system configured to guide a first light beam having a first wavelength emitted from a light source to a wavelength conversion element; the wavelength conversion element configured to convert the first light beam into a second light beam having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and emit the second light beam; and a second optical system through which the second light beam emitted from the light conversion element passes. The second optical system includes a light guide element configured to guide a portion of the second light beam from one end surface of the light guide element to the other end surface of the light guide element to separate the portion of the second light beam from the second light beam.

    Abstract: A light-source device includes an excitation light source; a wavelength conversion unit to convert at least some of first color light into second color light; a light mixing element including a rod integrator to mix at least one of the first color light and the second color light from the conversion unit; and an optical element on an optical path of the first color light and having a reflecting surface. A center of the first color light on the reflecting surface intersects with only one of a first light flux of the first color light incident on and a second light flux of the first color light emitted from the conversion unit. An angle formed by a projection straight line of the first color light incident on an incident aperture of the integrator and a predetermined axial line of the incident aperture of the integrator is smaller than 40°.
