    Abstract: Provided is an optical wavelength conversion device in which heat of an optical wavelength conversion member can be dissipated efficiently while the joint strength between the optical wavelength conversion member and a heat dissipation member is maintained. In the present disclosure, the optical wavelength conversion device includes an optical wavelength conversion member configured to convert the wavelength of incident light; a heat dissipation member which is more excellent in heat dissipation than the optical wavelength conversion member; and a joint portion which joins the optical wavelength conversion member and the heat dissipation member together. The optical wavelength conversion member includes a plate-shaped ceramic fluorescent body and a reflecting film disposed on a heat dissipation member-side surface of the ceramic fluorescent body. The joint portion has a thermal conductivity of 120 W/mK or more. The joint portion has a melting point of 240° C. or higher.

    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure provides an optical wavelength conversion member including a polycrystalline ceramic sintered body containing, as main components, Al2O3 crystal grains and crystal grains represented by formula (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce. In the optical wavelength conversion member, a (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain has a region wherein the A concentration of a peripheral portion of the (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain is higher than that of an interior portion of the (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain. Thus, the optical wavelength conversion member exhibits high fluorescence intensity (i.e., high emission intensity) and high heat resistance (i.e., low likelihood of temperature quenching). The optical wavelength conversion member has a structure wherein the element A concentration of a peripheral portion of a (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain differs from that in an interior portion of the crystal grain. This structure can achieve a ceramic fluorescent body exhibiting superior fluorescent characteristics and superior thermal characteristics with varied colors of emitted light.
