A fluorescence guide plate includes first and second surfaces, an edge surface connecting a periphery of the first surface with a periphery of the second surface, and a dichroic mirror laminated on the first surface. Fluorescent material is dispersed at least one of inside a space defined by the first surface, the second surface, and the edge surface, on the first surface, or on the second surface. The fluorescence guide plate has a plate-shaped structure made of a material with a higher refractive index than an outside. The fluorescence guide plate is configured such that, when irradiation light enters from the first surface, the fluorescence emitted from the fluorescent material exits from the edge surface. A reflection wavelength band of a normal incident beam reflected by the dichroic mirror lies in a range of wavelengths longer than a peak wavelength of a fluorescence wavelength band of the fluorescent material.
