1. A light emitter, comprising:
a light source unit configured to emit first excitation light and first mixed light, the first mixed light being a mixture of a plurality of component light beams with different peak wavelengths; and
a light-emitting member including an optical fiber configured to receive the first excitation light and the first mixed light,
wherein the optical fiber includes a first wavelength converter configured to emit first fluorescence in response to the first excitation light, and emits second mixed light being a mixture of the first mixed light and the first fluorescence through a side surface of the optical fiber,
the light-emitting member includes a light-emitting portion configured to emit the second mixed light outside the light-emitting member,
the plurality of component light beams includes first component light with a first peak wavelength and second component light with a second peak wavelength longer than the first peak wavelength, and
an absolute value of a difference between a first fluorescence peak wavelength of the first fluorescence and the first peak wavelength is less than an absolute value of a difference between the first fluorescence peak wavelength and the second peak wavelength.
