Abstract

An optical guide member ( 104 ) includes an optical guide section having an exit end surface (Rx 1 ) including a side a, and an imaging lens ( 105 ) forms, on a front surface of a light emitting section ( 101 ), an image of the side a in an image of excitation light (L 1 ) on the exit end surface (Rx 1 ).

Claims (16)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

an excitation light source which outputs excitation light;

a light emitting section which emits light by receiving the excitation light;

an optical guide member which guides the excitation light from the excitation light source to the light emitting section; and

an optical member which forms, on a front surface of the light emitting section, an image of the excitation light guided by the optical guide member, wherein

the excitation light is radiated to the front surface obliquely,

the optical guide member includes an optical guide section which has an exit end surface including at least one side, and

the optical member forms an image of a linear edge portion, which corresponds to one of the at least one side, in the image of the excitation light.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the edge portion extends in a direction orthogonal to a direction of the excitation light entering the light emitting section.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the exit end surface has a plurality of sides.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the excitation light source is composed of a plurality of excitation light source sections and

an entrance end surface of the optical guide section receives excitation light output from the plurality of excitation light source sections.

5. A lighting device, comprising:

the light emitting device according to claim 1 ; and

a projection section which projects, in a horizontal direction, light emitted from an image formation region of the linear edge portion in the light emitting section.
