[Emphasis of the invention] In the present description and claims, polygonal shapes such as triangular shapes, quadrilateral shapes, and the like are referred to as polygonal shapes, including those shapes on which machining has been performed to round, chamfer, bevel, or remove the corners. This is not limited to the corners (ends of sides), and shapes on which machining has been performed on the middle portions of the sides are also referred to as polygonal shapes. That is to say, shapes on which partial machining has been performed, whereby the basic polygonal shape remains, are included in the interpretation of a "polygonal shape" within the meaning of the description and the claims. This is not limited to polygonal shapes, and the same applies to words that express specific shapes, such as trapezoidal, circular, or concave-convex. Furthermore, it also applies to the treatment of the individual sides that make up these shapes. Thus, even if a corner or the middle part of a side has been modified, the interpretation of "side" includes the modified part. If a distinction is to be made between unmodified "polygonal shapes" or "sides" and modified shapes, this is done by adding "exactly," as for example, by describing "exactly rectangular shape." Information in the present description or the claims such as above and below (upwards / downwards), left and right, front and back, front and back (forwards / backwards), foreground and background and the like merely indicate a relationship such as a relative position, orientation, direction or the like and need not correspond to the relationship in use. Directions such as the X, Y, and Z directions, and the like, in the figures can also be indicated by arrows. These arrow directions are consistent across multiple views of the same embodiment. In the figures, the arrow directions indicated by X, Y, and Z are the positive direction, while the opposite direction is the negative direction. For example, a direction where the tip of the arrow is marked with an X is the X direction and the positive direction. In this description, a direction that is the X direction and the positive direction is referred to as the "positive X direction," and the opposite direction as the "negative X direction." When the term "X direction" is used, it includes both the positive and negative directions. The same applies to the Y and Z directions. If, in the present description, an object is defined as "one or more" and this object is described, the description is furthermore comprehensive, covering both singular and plural instances of the object. Thus, a description that specifies "one or more" is intended to cover embodiments comprising one or more objects, embodiments comprising at least one object, and embodiments comprising multiple objects. Furthermore, in the present description, statements describing "one or each" object serve as overarching statements for the description of a single object in an embodiment comprising a single object, the description of a single object in an embodiment comprising multiple objects, and the description of each object in an embodiment comprising multiple objects. Thus, the description of "one or each" object covers the following: in an embodiment comprising a single object, this single object contains the content of the description; in an embodiment comprising multiple objects, at least one of these objects contains the content of the description; in an embodiment comprising multiple objects, each of the multiple objects contains the content of the description; and in an embodiment comprising one or more objects, all objects contain the content of the description. The present description also uses terms like "elements" or "sections" when describing constituent parts and the like. An "element" is defined as an object treated as a physical unit. An object treated as a physical unit can also be described as an object that is handled as a component in a manufacturing step. A "section," on the other hand, refers to an object that does not need to be treated as a physical unit. For example, "section" is used when a part of a single element is partially perceived, or when several elements are perceived together as a single object. The distinction between "element" and "section" discussed above is not intended to represent a deliberate limitation of the scope of protection in the equivalence-based interpretation. That is to say, even if a constituent part is specified as an "element" in the claims, the applicant does not thereby concede that, solely by virtue of this specification, the treatment of this constituent part as a physical unit is indispensable for the application of the present invention. If a constituent part is present multiple times, it may also occur that, for the purpose of differentiation, the constituent parts are prefixed with terms like "first" and "second" in the present description or the claims. Furthermore, the objects distinguished between them may differ from one another in the present description and the claims. Thus, even if the claims specify constituent parts that are designated by prefixes in the same way as in the description, the objects defined by these constituent parts may not correspond in the present description and in the claims. For example, the present description may contain constituent parts distinguished by prefixing them with "first," "second," and "third." In a case where the claims specify the constituent parts prefixed with "first" and "third" in the present description, these constituent parts are distinguished in the claims for ease of identification by prefixing them with "first" and "second." In this case, the constituent parts prefixed with "first" and "second" in the claims refer to the constituent parts prefixed with "first" and "third" in the description. This rule applies not only to constituent parts but is also applied flexibly and appropriately to other objects. One embodiment of the present invention is described below. A specific form of implementation of the present invention is also described with reference to the figures. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this specific form of implementation. The illustrated embodiment is therefore not the only way in which the present invention can be implemented. For the sake of clarity, the sizes, positional relationships, and the like of the elements shown in the individual views may be exaggerated. <Ausführungsform> A light-emitting module 901 according to the embodiment is described.

(Case 10) The housing 10 comprises a support 11 and a cover body 14. The housing 10 is formed by connecting the cover body 14 to the support 11. An interior space is partitioned within the housing 10, in which other constituent parts are arranged. This interior space is a closed chamber enclosed by the support 11 and the cover body 14.

The second upper surface 11C, viewed from above, is an annular surface surrounding the first upper surface 11A. The second upper surface 11C is a surface in the form of a rectangular ring. A frame defined by the inner edge of the second upper surface 11C is referred to here as the inner frame of the second upper surface 11C, and a frame defined by the outer edge of the second upper surface 11C is referred to here as the outer frame of the second upper surface 11C. The support 11 has a recessed section surrounded by the frame formed by the second upper surface 11C.

The carrier 11 has several wiring sections 12. The several wiring sections 12 include one or more internal wiring sections 12A, which are arranged inside the housing 10, and one or more external wiring sections 12B, which are provided on the outer surface of the housing 10. The one or more internal wiring sections 12A are provided on the upper surface 11G of the stage section 11F.

The one or more internal wiring sections 12A are electrically connected to the external wiring section 12B on the support 11. The support 11 can, for example, be formed using ceramic as the main material. Examples of ceramics forming the main material of the support 11 include aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, or silicon carbide. The main material is defined as the material that constitutes the largest proportion, by mass or volume, in a molded body representing an object. If the molded body representing the object is made of a single material, then that material is the main material. Therefore, a material being the main material implies that its proportion can be 100%. The support 11 can be formed using a base element and a frame element, which are made of different main materials. The base element can, for example, be made of a material with excellent heat dissipation, such as metal, a metal-containing composite material, graphite, diamond, or the like. The metal forming the main material of the base element could be, for example, copper, aluminum, or iron. The metal-containing composite forming the main material of the base element could be, for example, copper-molybdenum or copper-tungsten. The frame element can, for example, be made of the ceramic material mentioned above as the main material of the support 11. The wiring section 12 of the carrier 11 can, for example, be formed using a metallic material as the main material. The metallic material forming the main material of the wiring section 12 of the carrier 11 could be, for example, a single metal such as Cu, Ag, Ni, Au, Ti, Pt, Pd, Cr, W, or the like, or an alloy or the like containing these metals. The wiring section 12 of the carrier 11 can, for example, be formed by one or more layers of metal. The lid body 14 has a top surface 14A and a bottom surface 14B. The lid body 14 also has one or more side surfaces 14C. The lid body 14 is designed in the form of a cuboid flat plate. However, the shape of the lid body 14 need not be cuboid. The lid body 14 is connected to the carrier 11. The lower surface 14B of the lid body 14 is connected to the second upper surface 11C of the carrier 11. The lid body 14 is connected to the carrier 11 by an adhesive. The lid body 14 has a light transmittance that allows light to pass through. Light transmittance is defined here as a transmittance of at least 80% with respect to the light incident on the lid body 14. The lid body 14 may have a non-transparent area (area without light transmittance) in one part. The lid body 14 can, for example, be made using glass as the main material. Alternatively, the lid body 14 can, for example, be made using sapphire as the main material. (Lighting element 20) The luminaire 20 has a top surface 21A, a bottom surface 21B, and several side surfaces 21C. The top surface 21A is rectangular. This rectangular shape has long sides and short sides. The outer shape of the luminaire 20, viewed from above, is also rectangular. The shape of the top surface 21A and the outer shape of the luminaire 20, viewed from above, are not limited to this. The luminaire 20 has a first electrode and a second electrode. The luminaire 20 has a light-emitting surface 22 that emits light. For example, a side surface 21C can be the light-emitting surface 22. The side surface 21C, which is the light-emitting surface 22, intersects the short sides of the upper surface 21A. Alternatively, the upper surface 21A can also be the light-emitting surface 22. The luminaire 20 has one or more light-emitting surfaces 22. For example, a light source 20 could be a light source that emits blue light. A light source 20 could also be a light source that emits green light. A light source 20 could also be a light source that emits red light. A light source 20 could also be a light source that emits light of other colors or wavelengths. Light with a peak emission wavelength between 420 nm and 494 nm is referred to as "blue light." Light with a peak emission wavelength between 495 nm and 570 nm is referred to as "green light." Light with a peak emission wavelength between 605 nm and 750 nm is referred to as "red light." A light source 20 that emits blue light or a light source 20 that emits green light can be defined as a light source comprising a nitride semiconductor. For example, a GaN semiconductor such as GaN, InGaN, AlGaN, or the like can be used as the nitride semiconductor. A light source 20 that emits red light can be defined as a light source comprising an InAlGaP, GaInP, or GaAs semiconductor such as GaAs or AlGaAs. For example, a semiconductor laser element can be used as the light source 20. A single-emitter semiconductor laser element can also be used as the light source 20. A multi-emitter semiconductor laser element can also be used as the light source 20. However, not only a semiconductor laser element, but also a light-emitting diode or the like can be used as the light source 20. Here, a semiconductor laser element is described, which represents an example of a luminescent element 20. The semiconductor laser element emits directed laser light. Divergent light is emitted from the light-emitting surface 22 of the semiconductor laser element. The light emitted by the semiconductor laser element forms an elliptical far-field pattern (hereinafter referred to as "FFP") in a plane parallel to the light-emitting surface 22. FFP is a shape and intensity distribution of the emitted light at a position remote from the light-emitting surface of the semiconductor laser element. The light passing through the center of the elliptical shape of the FFP, in other words, the light with the peak intensity in the FFP's light intensity distribution, is referred to as the light passing along or through the optical axis. Furthermore, in the FFP's light intensity distribution, the light with an intensity of at least 1 / e² of the peak intensity value is referred to as the main body light. The shape of the FFP of the light emitted by the semiconductor laser element in the plane parallel to the light emission surface 22 is an ellipse, in which one layering direction is longer than the direction perpendicular to the layering direction. The layering direction is the direction in which several semiconductor layers, including an active layer, are stacked in the semiconductor laser element. The direction perpendicular to the layering direction can also be described as the surface direction of the semiconductor layer. The direction of the longer diameter of the elliptical FFP shape can also be described as the direction of the fast axis of the semiconductor laser element, and the direction of the shorter diameter as the direction of the slow axis of the semiconductor laser element. The angle at which light with an intensity of 1 / e² of the peak intensity propagates, based on the light intensity distribution of the FFP, is considered the propagation angle of the semiconductor laser element. The propagation angle is defined as the angle formed by the light at the peak intensity (light passing through the optical axis) and the light at an intensity of 1 / e² of the peak intensity. Besides the intensity of 1 / e² of the peak intensity, the propagation angle can also be determined, for example, from the intensity of half the peak intensity. When the present description simply refers to the "propagation angle," it refers to the propagation angle at an intensity of 1 / e² of the peak intensity. The propagation angle of the light emitted by the semiconductor laser element in the direction of the fast axis can be 15 degrees or more and less than 40 degrees. Furthermore, the propagation angle of this light in the direction of the slow axis can be greater than 0 degrees and at most 10 degrees. For this light, the propagation angle of the fast axis is also greater than the propagation angle of the slow axis. (Submount 30) The submount 30 has a top surface 31A, a bottom surface 31B, and one or more side surfaces 31C. The top surface 31A can be described as a mounting surface on which other constituent parts are mounted. The shape of the top surface 31A is rectangular. This rectangular shape of the top surface 31A can have short sides and long sides. However, the shape of the top surface 31A does not have to be rectangular. The outer shape of the submount 30, viewed from above, is rectangular. This rectangular shape of the submount 30 can have short sides and long sides. However, the outer shape of the submount 30, viewed from above, need not be rectangular. The submount 30 can have an outer shape in which, viewed from above, a length in one direction (hereinafter referred to as the short direction of the submount 30) is less than a length in a direction perpendicular to it (hereinafter referred to as the long direction of the submount 30). In the submount 30 shown, the short direction corresponds to the X direction and the long direction to the Y direction. (Reflection element 40) The reflective element 40 has a lower surface 41A and a light-reflecting surface 41B that reflects light. The light-reflecting surface 41B is further inclined with respect to the lower surface 41A. A straight line connecting the lower and upper ends of the light-reflecting surface 41B is inclined with respect to the lower surface 41A. The angle at which the light-reflecting surface 41B is inclined with respect to the lower surface 41A is called the angle of inclination of the light-reflecting surface 41B. The light-reflecting surface 41B is a flat surface. However, the light-reflecting surface 41B can also be a curved surface. The angle of inclination of the light-reflecting surface 41B is 45 degrees. However, the angle of inclination of the light-reflecting surface 41B does not have to be 45 degrees. The main material of the reflecting element 40 can be glass, a metal, or the like. A material with high heat resistance should be used as the main material of the reflecting element 40. For example, the main material can be glass such as quartz, BK7 (borosilicate glass), or the like, or a metal such as aluminum or the like. The reflecting element 40 can also be made with silicon as the main material. If the main material is a reflective material such as Al or the like, the light-reflecting surface 41B can be formed from the main material. Alternatively, instead of forming the light-reflecting surface 41B using the main material, the basic shape of the reflecting element 40 can be formed from the main material, and the light-reflecting surface 41B can be formed on the surface of this basic shape. In this case, the light-reflecting surface 41B can be formed, for example, using a metal layer of Ag, Al, or the like, or a multilayer dielectric layer of Ta₂O₅ / SiO₂, TiO₂ / SiO₂, Nb₂O₅ / SiO₂, or the like.

The lens surface 71D is not formed on the side of the lower surface 71B of the optical element 70. The shape of the lower surface 71B is rectangular. However, the shape of the lower surface 71B need not be rectangular. On the optical element 70, a portion that, viewed from above, overlaps with the lens surface 71D is designated as lens section 72A.

If the luminaire 1 comprises several luminaire elements 20, the positions illuminated by the optical axis of the light emitted by the individual luminaire elements 20 onto the one or more reflective elements 40 lie, viewed from above, on a single straight line. Since the illumination points of the optical axis lie adjacent to each other on a single straight line, optical control is simplified.
