  • Publication number: 20230296973
    Abstract: A light source device includes a first polarization beam splitter and a dichroic mirror. The first polarization beam splitter has a first optical surface that separates light incident on the first optical surface into light beams having different polarization directions from each other. The dichroic mirror has a second optical surface. The second optical surface intersects the first optical surface and guides reflection light reflected by a fluorescent emitter and fluorescence in different directions from each other. The reflection light is part of incident light that has been emitted by a first light source and incident on the fluorescent emitter via the first optical surface. The fluorescence is emitted by the fluorescent emitter in response to the incident light.
