Abstract

A light source controller includes a light source driver, a light amount sensor, a memory configured to store property information indicating a relationship between the drive current and the outgoing light amount for each level of the environmental temperature of the solid-state light source, and a controller configured to control the drive current supplied from the light source driver. The controller obtains the property information corresponding to the environmental temperature of the solid-state light source according to the relationship between the drive current and the outgoing light amount, and controls the drive current according to the obtained property information so as to bring the outgoing light amount close to a target light amount.
