Abstract
A white light generating device, for generating white light from an excitation light of a laser light having a wavelength of from 280 nm-495 nm, includes a fluorescent body generating a fluorescence having a wavelength longer than a wavelength of the excitation light. The fluorescent body includes an emission-side end surface emitting excitation light and fluorescence, an opposing end surface on an opposite side of the emission-side end surface, and an outer peripheral surface. The emission-side end surface has an area larger than an area of the opposing end surface, and the outer peripheral surface of the fluorescent body includes a part inclined with respect to a central axis of the fluorescent body by from 3.4°-23° over an entire periphery of the fluorescent body. The emission-side end surface has an area of from 0.3 mm-1.52 mm.
