Abstract

A light source apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a light source section that outputs light belongs to a first wavelength band, a wavelength converter that converts the light that belongs to the first wavelength band into light that belongs to a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band, and a first optical element that reflects the light that belongs to the first wavelength band and transmits the light that belongs to the second wavelength band. A first angle of incidence of the chief ray of the light that belongs to the first wavelength band with respect to a first surface of the first optical element is smaller than 45°, and a second angle of incidence of the chief ray of the light that belongs to the second wavelength band with respect to the first surface is smaller than 45°.
