Abstract

A light emitting device, comprises: an excitation light source that emits excitation light; a wavelength conversion member that absorbs the excitation light emitted from the excitation light source, converts its wavelength, and releases light of a predetermined wavelength band; a light guide in which the center part (core) of its cross section has a refractive index that is higher than the refractive index of the peripheral portion (cladding), and which guides the light emitted from the wavelength conversion member to the outside; and wherein the wavelength conversion member is produced by laminating a plurality of layers that wavelength-convert different wavelengths of light.
