US Patent 7796672 Light source device and projector including light source device

A light source device includes: a laser light source emitting a laser beam of a prescribed wavelength; a nonlinear optical element, disposed facing a light emergence surface of the laser light sources which converts an emission wavelength of the laser beam emitted from the laser light source and causes the laser beam to emerge; a volume phase grating, disposed facing an emergence surface of the laser beam of the converted wavelength converted by the nonlinear optical element, which has formed in an interior thereof a Bragg grating structure which selectively reflects a laser beam of an emission wavelength; and a first dielectric multilayer, provided on a light emergence surface of the volume phase gratings which transmits the laser beam of the converted wavelength and reflects the laser beam of the emission wavelength.
