It is an object of the present invention to provide a light source
apparatus capable of reducing the production cost and increasing
productivity. A light source apparatus comprises an approximately
spherical discharge container, sealing portions continuously formed from
both ends of the discharge container respectively, and a concave
reflection mirror disposed so as to surround the discharge lamp, wherein
the concave reflection mirror has a spheroidal surface or paraboloid of
revolution formed from a front opening edge thereof, a sealing portion
receiving section is formed at a head section of the concave reflection
mirror and has a flat inner bottom surface, in which an end of one of the
sealing portions is received, and an end surface of an end portion of the
one of the sealing portions and the inner bottom surface of the sealing
portion receiving section are brought into contact.
