Abstract

A light source apparatus according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a first light source configured to output first light; a second light source configured to output second light; a wavelength converter configured to convert the first light and second light into third light; a first optical layer configured to transmit the first light and reflect the third light; a light guide configured to guide light; an incident angle adjusting system configured to adjust an angle of incidence of the second light with respect to the wavelength converter; and a second optical layer configured to transmit the second light and reflect the third light. The wavelength converter has a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface. The first light enters the wavelength converter via the first optical layer and the light guide and via the third surface. The third light exits out of a region on the first surface side of the light guide. The second light enters the incident angle adjusting system, which adjusts the angle of incidence of the second light, and the resultant second light enters a region on the second surface side of the light guide via the second optical layer, and part of the second light enters the wavelength converter via the third surface and is converted into the third light by the wavelength converter, and another part of the second light exits out of a region on the first surface of the light guide.
