Abstract: A light emitting device includes a semiconductor laser element, a support member and a wavelength conversion member. The support member defines a through-hole through which laser light emitted from the semiconductor laser element passes. The wavelength conversion member has a lateral surface fixed to an inner wall of the through-hole, a first main surface having a first region to which the laser light is incident, a second main surface opposite to the first main surface, and an inclined surface connected to the second main surface and the lateral surface. The inclined surface is inclined such that a thickness of a peripheral portion of the wavelength conversion member is thinner than a thickness of a center portion of the wavelength conversion member. The inclined surface partially overlaps with the first region of the first main surface in plan view.
