Abstract: A light-emitting unit according to the present invention includes: a fluorescent section for emitting light upon irradiation with a laser beam; and a wavelength selection filter being provided so as to face the fluorescent section. The wavelength selection filter reflects the laser beam toward the fluorescent section and transmits fluorescence emitted from the fluorescent section.

Abstract: A headlight of the present invention includes: a fluorescent material light-emitting section; a reflector that reflects light emitted from the fluorescent material light-emitting section so as to emit reflected light out of the headlight; and a mini-mirror that reflects, toward a predetermined surface of the fluorescent material light-emitting section provided substantially at a focal point of the reflector, at least part of light that has not been directed toward the reflector. The mini-mirror has its optical axis inclined with respect to a normal line of the predetermined surface.

Abstract: A light-projecting device according to the present invention includes a plurality of light source units including (i) a light emitting section that emits light upon receiving a laser beam and (ii) a reflector. Each of the light source units project light to a corresponding one of light-projected spots which is a region to which light is projected in an illuminated region in a partitioning manner, and the illuminated region is formed by combining a plurality of the light-projected spot.

Abstract: In a head lamp 1, relative positions of a laser light guide path in a tapered light guide section 20 and a parabolic mirror 5 are fixed. An optical fiber 10 and the tapered light guide section 20 are each provided so as to have a receiving end part where laser light is received and an emitting end part where laser light is emitted. The emitting end part of the optical fiber 10 is located near the receiving end part of the tapered light guide section 20.

Abstract: A headlamp includes the laser chip which emits excitation light, a light-emitting section which contains a phosphor, and an optical rod. The excitation light emitted from the laser chip is optically guided by the optical rod, and the light output from the optical rod enters the light-emitting section. An edge is present in the light intensity distribution of the light-emitting section.
