Abstract

The present disclosure provides a light-emitting device that is able to output light with a shorter pulse. A light-emitting device according to the present disclosure includes a capacitor, one or more solid-state light-emitting elements that emit light when electric power is supplied from the capacitor, and a semiconductor switch that controls electric power supply from the capacitor to the solid-state light-emitting element. Furthermore, the solid-state light-emitting element is placed on an outer face of the capacitor, the semiconductor switch is placed on the outer face of the capacitor or provided inside the capacitor, and the capacitor includes a connecting electrode between outer electrodes, the connecting electrode allowing the solid-state light-emitting element and the semiconductor switch to be connected in series.
