Wavelength converting member and light emitting device

A method for producing a wavelength converting member comprising:

• forming a sheet-shaped second wavelength converting layer by curing a first resin containing a first fluorescent material having a light emission peak wavelength in a range of 620 nm or more and 660 nm or less, and
• forming a sheet-shaped third wavelength converting layer by curing a second resin containing a second fluorescent material having a light emission peak wavelength in a range of 510 nm or more and 560 nm or less, and bonding the second wavelength converting layer and the third wavelength converting layer,
• wherein an average particle diameter, as measured according to a Fisher Sub-Sieve Sizer method, of the first fluorescent material is in a range of 2 μm or more and 30 μm or less,
• wherein the second fluorescent material comprises a β-SiAlON fluorescent material, a circularity of the β-SiAlON fluorescent material is 0.7 or more, and a volume average particle diameter, as measured according to a laser diffraction scattering particle size distribution measuring method, of the β-SiAlON fluorescent material is in a range of 2 μm or more and 30 μm or less, and
• wherein a thickness of each of the second wavelength converting layer and the third wavelength converting layer is in a range of 10 μm or more and 150 μm or less.
