Abstract
A light source device includes a first laser source and a diffusion element that diffuses light, the diffusion element being provided on an optical path of a first laser beam emitted by the first laser source. The diffusion element comprises, on an incident surface, a first lens array in which a plurality of first lens elements are arranged that divide the first laser beam into a plurality of light beams and further comprises, on an exit surface, a second lens array in which a plurality of second lens elements are arranged that each face a respective first lens element of the plurality of first lens elements and that each emit a light beam incident through the facing first lens element toward an imaging surface. Each second lens element forms a light source image in a different region on the imaging surface.
