Abstract

A light source apparatus includes: a laser light source; a fluorescent material plate including a laser beam irradiation region and being capable of emitting light generated by irradiating the laser beam irradiation region with a laser beam; a light scanning mechanism capable of scanning the laser beam irradiation region with the laser beam; a first transparent conductive film pattern disposed on the fluorescent material plate in the laser beam irradiation region; a second transparent conductive film pattern disposed on the fluorescent material plate outside the laser beam irradiation region and connected to the first transparent conductive film pattern to constitute a continuous series connection wiring; and an electric circuit electrically connected to the second transparent conductive film pattern, detect a change in a resistance value of the series connection wiring, and function to stop the driving of the laser light source when the resistance value falls outside a predetermined range.
