Abstract
A semiconductor light emitting device includes: a light emitting part for emitting ultraviolet light; and a coating part that coats a part of an extraction surface from which the ultraviolet light emitted by the light emitting part is extracted. The coating part is comprised of a plurality of isolated parts distanced from each other, and the isolated part is made of a second material having a refractive index that is lower than a refractive index of a first material forming the extraction surface.
