A ceramic sintered body contains a first particular element consisting of five or six elements selected from among titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), hafnium (Hf), tantalum (Ta), and tungsten (W); a second particular element consisting of one element selected from yttrium (Y) and aluminum (Al); and elemental carbon (C). The total amount of the first particular element, the second particular element, and elemental carbon is 98 at % or more. The ceramic sintered body has a plurality of microstructures having respective compositions different from one another. One of the plurality of microstructures includes a solid solution containing at least three members of the first particular element.

Ceramic sintered body and plasma-generating electrode

There is provided a wavelength conversion member including: a fluorescent body and a reflective film. The fluorescent body is configured to emit fluorescence by an excitation light and has an incident surface into which the excitation light comes and a rear surface which faces the incident surface. The reflective film is arranged on a side of the rear surface of the fluorescent body and includes a metal layer and ceramic particles dispersed in the metal layer. The ceramic particles are crystalline, and a melting point of the ceramic particles is higher than a melting point of a metal constructing the metal layer.

Wavelength conversion member and light source device provided therewith

A fluorescent plate includes a fluorescent phase which emits fluorescence by excitation light, a light-transmitting phase which allows passage of the excitation light, and a plurality of voids surrounded by the fluorescent phase and the light-transmitting phase, wherein, in a cross section of the fluorescent plate including cross sections of the voids, an average ratio of a portion of the circumference of a void, which portion is in contact with the fluorescent phase to the entire circumference of the void, is higher than an area ratio of the area of the fluorescent phase present in the fluorescent plate to the total area of the fluorescent phase and the light-transmitting phase present in the fluorescent plate.
