Abstract
An illuminator includes a light source that outputs first light having a first wavelength band, a wavelength converter that converts the first light into second light having a second wavelength band different from the first, a first optical element that reflects part of the first light to cause the reflected first light to be incident on the wavelength converter and transmits the other part of the first light and the second light, and a second optical element that reflects the other part of the first light having the first wavelength band and passing through the first optical element, the direction of the reflected light being the traveling direction of the second light having the second wavelength band and passing through the first optical element, and transmits the second light having the second wavelength band and emitted from the wavelength converter.
