A light source apparatus is disclosed which allows effective cooling of an
arc tube even with a small amount of wind. The light source apparatus has
a light emitter and a reflector which reflects light from the light
emitter and causes the reflected light to emerge. The light source
apparatus also has a wind-guiding member which has a flow inlet and a
flow outlet of cooling wind and has a wall portion at a position opposite
to the flow inlet, the wall portion guiding the cooling wind toward the
light emitter in the reflector. The light source apparatus which has a
reflector to which an arc tube is fixed via a connecting member, and has
a first flow path on which cooling wind from a fan flows to cool an area
of the arc tube closer to the connecting member, and a second flow path
on which cooling wind from the fan flows to cool an area of the arc tube
closer to a light emitting portion. The second flow path is formed
separately from the first flow path.
