Abstract

A headlampincludes (i) a laser elementfor emitting a laser beam, (ii) a light emitting section, including a sealing material made from an inorganic material, for emitting fluorescence upon receiving the laser beam emitted from the laser element, and (iii) a heat sinkfor releasing, via a contact surface of the heat sinkwhich contact surface is in contact with the light emitting section, heat generated in the light emitting sectionin response to the laser beam emitted onto the light emitting section, the light emitting sectionexisting within a range which is determined on the basis of the contact surface and with which desired heat releasing efficiency is obtained.
