Abstract
A light source is provided. The light source includes: an elliptical reflection mirror having first and second focal points; a discharge chamber in which a luminescent substance is enclosed and which is disposed on the first focal point; a laser light generator which emits the laser light; and a laser light guide which guides the laser light from an opening side of the elliptical reflection mirror into the discharge chamber. The luminescent substance is excited by providing the laser light to the luminescent substance so as to emit light, and the light is reflected by the elliptical reflection mirror. The laser light guide is disposed in a shade area in which the light reflected by the elliptical reflection mirror is blocked by the discharge chamber.
