| 1. An optical component comprising:
an optical fiber having a core and a clad;
a light guide holding member attached to an exit end of the optical fiber;
a wavelength conversion member that contains a fluorescent substance; and
a reflection means provided between the exit end of the optical fiber and the wavelength conversion member, or between an
exit end of the light guide holding member and the wavelength conversion member, and in contact with an end face of the exit
end of the light guide holding member, wherein at least a part of the core of the exit end of the optical fiber is not covered
by the reflection means, and
wherein the reflection means covers all or part of the end face of the light guide holding member.
