Abstract

A light source apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a light source section, a first polarization separator that transmits in a first polarization component of the first light and reflects a second polarization component of the first light, a second polarization separator that reflects the first polarization component, a diffuser that diffuses the second polarization component and causes the diffused second polarization component, a first wavelength converter that converts the wavelength of the first polarization component into second light, and a second wavelength converter that is disposed in a position shifted in a fifth direction from a placement plane where the first polarization separator and the second polarization separator are placed, converts the wavelength of the excitation light into third light, and the second polarization separator transmits the first polarization component of the second light and reflects the second polarization component of the second light.
