Abstract: A light emission device includes a plurality of light sources, a light deflector that deflects excitation light beams emitted by the plurality of light sources, and a wavelength converter that receives and converts the excitation light beams deflected by the light deflector to wavelength-converted light of a different wavelength, and emits the wavelength-converted light. The light deflector includes one movable mirror on which the excitation light beams are incident along different optical axes. The excitation light beams have equally long optical path lengths from the one movable mirror to the wavelength converter.

Abstract: A line beam scanning optical system includes: at least one laser light source; a light deflector having a mirror; a lens configured to condense laser light at least in a long side direction of a line beam and cause the laser light to be incident on the mirror; and a light guide that is placed between the laser light source and the lens and on which the laser light emitted from the laser light source is incident. The light guide has two surfaces opposing each other in a long side direction of the line beam, reflects the laser light at the two surfaces to confine the laser light inside the light guide, and causes the mixed laser light to be incident on the lens.

Abstract: A projection optical system includes: a surface-emitting light source configured to emit light at an intensity in a Gaussian distribution; and an optical element configured to perform uniformization, at least in one direction and in a range of a projection angle, of the intensity of the light emitted from the surface-emitting light source. In the optical element, an incident surface on which the light is incident is sectioned into a plurality of regions having refractive actions different from each other, and among the plurality of regions, at least outermost regions on which outer edge portions, of the light, in the direction in which the uniformization is performed are incident, are planes that are each tilted, from a state of being parallel to a light emitting surface of the surface-emitting light source, to the direction in which the uniformization is performed.

Abstract: An encoder includes: an emitter that emits light; a rotary plate that rotates and includes an annular region that reflects the light emitted from the emitter, the annular region being provided surrounding a rotation axis of the rotary plate; and a light receiver that receives light emitted from the emitter and arriving via the annular region. The light receiver includes: a first set that includes a first light-receiving region and a second light-receiving region that are arranged side by side in a first direction intersecting a rotation direction of rotary plate; and a second set that includes a third light-receiving region and a fourth light-receiving region that are arranged side by side in a second direction intersecting the rotation direction and that is provided side by side with the first set in the rotation direction.

Abstract: A light emitting device includes a wavelength conversion element, and an excitation light source which radiates excitation light to the wavelength conversion element. The wavelength conversion element includes a support member having a supporting surface, and a wavelength conversion member disposed on the supporting surface so as to be contained within the support member when the support member is viewed from the supporting surface side. An outer peripheral region on the support member, which is an outer peripheral portion of an arrangement region including the wavelength conversion member and is exposed from the wavelength conversion member, includes a light absorbing portion which can absorb first light having same wavelength as the excitation light or a light scattering portion which can scatter the first light. The arrangement region includes a reflective member which is disposed between the wavelength conversion member and the support member, and is different from the support member.

Abstract: A line beam scanning optical system includes: a plurality of laser light sources disposed so as to be aligned in a direction corresponding to a long side of a line beam; an optical deflector; a first cylindrical lens configured to converge laser light from the plurality of laser light sources, into substantially parallel light in a direction perpendicular to an alignment direction in which the laser light sources are aligned, and to cause the laser light to be incident on a mirror; and a second cylindrical lens configured to condense the laser light from the plurality of laser light sources, in the alignment direction in which the laser light sources are aligned, and to cause the laser light to be incident on the mirror. The plurality of laser light sources are disposed at positions shifted from a focal position on the laser light source side of the second cylindrical lens.

Abstract: A light emission device includes a light source that emits an excitation light beam, a light deflector, a wavelength converter that receives and converts the excitation light beam deflected by the light deflector to wavelength-converted light, and a light concentration section that focuses the excitation light beam on the wavelength converter. The light concentration section includes a first optical system disposed between the light source and the light deflector, and a second optical system disposed between the light deflector and the wavelength converter. In the second optical system, a focal length of an Ay-axis is shorter than a focal length of an Ax-axis, where the Ax-axis is defined as an axis that has a lowest beam parameter product of the excitation light beam, and the Ay-axis is defined as an axis orthogonal to the Ax-axis in a cross section perpendicular to a propagation direction of the excitation light beam.
