    摘要: 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°.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A wavelength conversion plate includes a conversion region and a reflection region on a base surface. The conversion region includes a wavelength conversion member configured to receive excitation light and generate a color different from a color of the excitation light. The reflection region is configured to reflect the excitation light. The reflection region includes a transmissive diffusion surface, a transmissive layer, and a reflection surface. The transmissive diffusion surface is configured to diffuse the excitation light. The transmissive layer is configured to transmit the excitation light. The reflection surface is configured to reflect the excitation light. The transmissive diffusion surface is in a position separate from a surface closer to the base surface, of the wavelength conversion member, toward a direction from which the excitation light is incident.
