Method for manufacturing wavelength conversion member having depressed portion and light-emitting device including the same

A wavelength conversion member manufacturing method comprising:

• providing a wavelength conversion member having an upper surface, the wavelength conversion member including
• a phosphor portion, and
• a light-transmissive portion configured to transmit fluorescence from the phosphor portion;
• and
• forming, in the wavelength conversion member, at least one depressed portion having an inclined surface inclined with respect to the upper surface by irradiating the wavelength conversion member with a pulsed laser beam from above, the forming of the at least one depressed portion including performing a set of scanning more than once at different processing depths in regions overlapping each other in a top view,
• the performing of the set of the scanning including performing scanning with the pulsed laser beam along a first direction more than once at irradiation positions shifted in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction in the top view, the performing of the scanning including applying the pulsed laser beam at a fixed processing depth.
