Light emitting device having semiconductor laser and fluorescent material and method for manufacturing the same

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a casing;

a window including a nonreflective layer;

a semiconductor laser provided in an enclosed space formed by the casing and the window; and

a fluorescent material in a form of any one of a crystal and glass, the fluorescent material being provided in the enclosed space,

the fluorescent material absorbing laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser and emitting secondary light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the laser light, and

the secondary light being taken out through the window.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a semiconductor base material provided in the enclosed space, the semiconductor base material having a bottom surface and a side surface, at least part of the side surface being a mirror portion,

the semiconductor laser being mounted on the bottom surface of the semiconductor base material, and

the laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser and reflected by the mirror portion being absorbed by the fluorescent material.

3. The device according to claim 2 , the bottom surface of the semiconductor base material is a bottom surface of a recessed portion of the semiconductor base material, the mirror portion is a surface of a total reflection layer provided on a side surface of the recessed portion and reflects the laser light emitted from an end of the semiconductor laser.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosed space is an inert gas atmosphere.
