The light guide section has a light input section into which the excitation light is introduced, and an irradiation section from which the excitation light is outputted. The wavelength conversion layer has: a first region, which absorbs the excitation light, and which outputs first wavelength conversion light having a wavelength longer than that of the excitation light; and a second region, which absorbs the excitation light, and which outputs second wavelength conversion light having a wavelength longer than that of the excitation light. The emission spectrum of the first wavelength conversion light and that of the second wavelength conversion light are different from each other. The ratio of the first wavelength conversion light to the light output of the excitation light outputted through the first region, and the ratio of the light output of the second wavelength conversion light to the light output of the excitation light outputted through the second region are different from each other. The irradiation region moving means changes an irradiation position of the excitation light outputted from the irradiation section, said position being on the surface of the wavelength conversion layer.

Abstract

A lamp system (10) is provided with a straight-tube lamp (13) and a socket (14). The straight-tube lamp (13) has a straight-tube-shaped cover (20) that houses a semiconductor light-emitting element and that is at least partially translucent, and caps (23) disposed on both ends of the cover (20). A pair of lamp pins (30), the tip of each of which projects outward, are provided protruding from the end face of each of the caps (23), and an erroneous mounting prevention protrusion (31) is also provided protruding therefrom. The straight-tube lamp (13) is mounted in the socket (14) by inserting the pair of lamp pins (30) from the outer face and rotating the straight-tube lamp (13) disposed on the front side. The socket (14) has a recessed section (63) into which the erroneous mounting prevention protrusion (31) is inserted and rotated in conjunction with the insertion and rotation of the pair of lamp pins (30).

Abstract

This light emitting device has a first package member, a semiconductor laser element, a second package member, a metal bump, a ferrule, and a bonding layer. The first package member has: a first insulating substrate; a first electrode, which includes a die pad section, an outer conductive section, and a connecting section; and a first sealing conductive section. The semiconductor laser element is capable of emitting laser light having a wavelength within a blue-violet to blue wavelength range. The second package member has: a second insulating substrate; a second electrode, which includes an inner conductive section, an outer conductive section, and a connecting section; and a second sealing conductive section. The metal bump connects the second electrode and the semiconductor laser element to each other. The bonding layer bonds the first sealing conductive section, the second sealing conductive section, and the ferrule to each other. The first insulating substrate and/or the second insulating substrate is provided with a recessed portion and a side-surface opening. The ferrule of an optical fiber is inserted into the side-surface opening.
