Abstract
A light source apparatus includes: at least one solid-state light source configured to output light in a predetermined wavelength range; a first optical system including at least one aspherical surface configured to convert a light flux from the solid-state light source into a substantially parallel light flux; an output unit including at least one light emitter that is excited by the light and emits visible light with a wavelength longer than that of the light, the output unit being configured to output light containing the light and the visible light; and a second optical system including at least one concave reflecting surface and being configured to reflect the light on the concave reflecting surface, the light coming from the solid-state light source and being converted into the substantially parallel light flux by the first optical system, to collect the light to the light emitter of the output unit.
