    Abstract: A particle sensor includes: a detecting area into which a gas including particles is introduced; a light-projecting element; a light-receiving element which receives scattered light of the light reflected by the particles in the gas in the detecting area; a heater which heats the gas; a reflector which directs the scattered light to the light-receiving element, wherein the reflector includes: a first ellipsoidal portion having an inner surface shape that defines a portion of a surface of revolution of a spheroid; and a first spherical portion having an inner surface shape that defines a portion of a spherical surface of a sphere, wherein the first ellipsoidal portion has one focus of the spheroid located in the detecting area and the other focus of the spheroid located at or proximate to the light-receiving element, and the first spherical portion has a center of the sphere located in the detecting area.

    Abstract: A light source device and a method of manufacturing a light source device are provided. The light source device includes a base. A light-emitter is above the base. A cap is joined to the base to cover the light-emitter. The cap includes an opening in a position corresponding to the light-emitter. A first light guide is in communication with the opening for guiding, to outside of the cap, light emitted by the light-emitter. A first ferrule is provided around the first light guide. The first ferrule is joined to an edge of the opening in a state in which the first ferrule is in the opening.

    Abstract: An illumination system of an embodiment includes: a solid-state light source; a wavelength conversion element that converts a wavelength of light emitted from the solid-state light source; a light guide tube that allows incoherent light emitted from the wavelength conversion element to propagate and transmit therethrough, and that has a floating property to float in water; and a connection member that connects and retains the light guide tube on a road surface while securing the floating property of the light guide tube.

    Abstract: A lighting apparatus including a base is provided. The base includes a through-hole. The through-hole is aligned with an optical path of laser light for receiving and transmitting the laser light. A light emitter which, when irradiated with the laser light transmitted through the through-hole, radiates light by converting a wavelength of the laser light. An attachment component is provided on the base for attachment of the light emitter to the base. The light emitter is removable from the base. A light blocker opens the optical path of the laser light by being contacted by the light emitter when the light emitter is attached to the base, and blocks the optical path of the laser light when the light emitter is removed from the base.

    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.
