Abstract

A wavelength conversion element includes a phosphor layer that emits fluorescence when excitation light is incident on the phosphor layer, a base having a reflection layer, and a filter provided on a side of the phosphor layer that is the side opposite the reflection layer. The filter is so configured that the reflectance of light that belongs to a wavelength region from the wavelength of the excitation light to the wavelength of the fluorescence and is incident on the filter at right angles is minimized at a first wavelength, and the first wavelength is located between the peak wavelength of the excitation light and the peak wavelength of the fluorescence.
