Abstract: The present invention provides a light emitting device comprising: an excitation light source which radiates excitation light; a wavelength converting member which absorbs and converts the wavelength of at least part of the excitation light radiated from the excitation light source, and releases light with a predetermined wavelength band; a light guide for guiding the excitation light radiated from the excitation light source to the wavelength converting member, with one end at the excitation light source and the other end at the wavelength converting member, wherein the refractive index of the cross-sectional center region (core) is higher than that of the circumferential region (clad); and a thermally conductive transparent film which contacts with the wavelength converting member.

Abstract: There is provided a light emitting device using an optical component capable of emitting light having a wavelength different from that of light exit from an optical fiber and obtaining light of high output, and capable of being easily attached to an end of the optical fiber. The optical component includes an optical fiber holding member for holding an optical fiber, a light conversion member, and a cap having an inner hole allowing the light conversion member and the optical fiber holding member to be inserted into and an engagement part with an opening for engaging inserted members at one end of the inner hole. The light conversion member inserted into the inner hole of the cap is fitted into the inner hole with the optical fiber holding member pressed against the engagement part. The opening of the engagement part is smaller than a maximum diameter of the light conversion member.

Abstract: The optical component according to the present invention includes a fixed member including a through hole, and a wavelength conversion member having at least one part thereof arranged in the through hole, where the fixed member is formed with a cut-in part or a hole part in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the through hole.

Abstract: An optical component that can be attached to an end portion of an optical guiding member, and a light converting member used in the optical component. The optical component comprises a cap having an engaging portion defining a bore engaged with an end member of a light guiding member, and an arranging portion defining a opening connected to the bore in the engaging portion, and a light converting member disposed in the opening formed in the arranging portion.

Abstract: An optical component comprises: an optical fiber having the core and the clad; a light guide holding member attached to the exit end of the optical fiber; a wavelength conversion member that contains a fluorescent substance; and a reflection means provided between the exit end of the optical fiber and the wavelength conversion member, or between the light guide holding member and the wavelength conversion member. An increase in optical output is made possible not by reducing reflection as with conventional optical components, but on the contrary by actually producing reflection. Therefore, optical output can be increased by a means other than forming an optical film that reduces Fresnel reflection.
