Abstract:
A light-source device includes an excitation light source; a wavelength conversion unit to convert at least some of first color light into second color light; a light mixing element including a rod integrator to mix at least one of the first color light and the second color light from the conversion unit; and an optical element on an optical path of the first color light and having a reflecting surface. A center of the first color light on the reflecting surface intersects with only one of a first light flux of the first color light incident on and a second light flux of the first color light emitted from the conversion unit. An angle formed by a projection straight line of the first color light incident on an incident aperture of the integrator and a predetermined axial line of the incident aperture of the integrator is smaller than 40°.
