    摘要: An optical wavelength converter (1) is configured such that an optical wavelength conversion member (9) is bonded to a heat dissipation member (13) having superior heat dissipation property. Thus, heat generated by light incident on the optical wavelength conversion member (9) can be efficiently dissipated. Therefore, even when high-energy light is incident on the optical wavelength converter, temperature quenching is less likely to occur, and thus high fluorescence intensity can be maintained. An intermediate film (21) is disposed between a reflective film (19) and a bonding portion (15). The presence of the intermediate film (21) improves the adhesion between the reflective film (19) and the bonding portion (15), thereby enhancing the heat dissipation from the optical wavelength conversion member (9) to the heat dissipation member (13). Thus, the temperature quenching of the optical wavelength conversion member (9) can be prevented, thereby enhancing fluorescence intensity.

    摘要: One aspect of the disclosure provides an optical wavelength conversion member including a polycrystalline ceramic sintered body containing, as main components, Al2O3 crystal grains and crystal grains represented by formula (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce. In the optical wavelength conversion member, a (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain has a region wherein the A concentration of a peripheral portion of the (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain is higher than that of an interior portion of the (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain. Thus, the optical wavelength conversion member exhibits high fluorescence intensity (i.e., high emission intensity) and high heat resistance (i.e., low likelihood of temperature quenching). The optical wavelength conversion member has a structure wherein the element A concentration of a peripheral portion of a (Y,A)3B5O12:Ce crystal grain differs from that in an interior portion of the crystal grain. This structure can achieve a ceramic fluorescent body exhibiting superior fluorescent characteristics and superior thermal characteristics with varied colors of emitted light.
