    摘要: A light source apparatus includes a first light source that outputs first excitation light having a first wavelength band, a second light source that outputs second excitation light having a second wavelength band, a third light source that outputs third light having a third wavelength band, a wavelength converter that has a first surface and a second surface and converts the first excitation light and the second excitation light in term of wavelength and emits fourth light having a fourth wavelength band, and a light combiner that combines the third light outputted from the third light source with the fourth light emitted from the wavelength converter to generate illumination light. The first excitation light outputted from the first light source is incident on the first surface of the wavelength converter via the light combiner, and the second excitation light outputted from the second light source is incident on the second surface of the wavelength converter.

    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 apparatus includes light sources emitting first and second polarized light, an optical element transmitting one of the polarized light and reflecting the other, a polarization rotator generating polarization rotated light from the first polarized light, a wavelength convertor converting the second polarized light into wavelength converted light, and a controller. The optical element generates emitted light by combining the wavelength converted light and polarization rotated light. The controller acquires respective deterioration amounts of the light sources, and controls, based on respective changes in light emission amounts from the light sources acquired from the deterioration amounts, the light emission amount from at least one of the light sources for making different respective change amounts of the light emission amounts from the light sources, or changing a ratio between respective light emission amounts from the light sources.
