To reduce coherency of exciting light.

A light-emitting section 4 emits fluorescence upon receiving the exciting light emitted from a laser element 2. The light-emitting section 4 includes a plurality of fluorescent material particles 40 made from a single type of fluorescent material or several types of fluorescent materials, the plurality of fluorescent material particles 40 being accumulated on a metal substrate 45. Each of the plurality of fluorescent material particles 40 has a surface coated with a coating layer 42. The coating layer 42 forms an uneven shape 43 of a surface of the light-emitting section 4.
