A color conversion member of a high efficiency achieved by restraining fluorescence emitted from a certain phosphor from being absorbed again by another different phosphor, as well as a light emitting apparatus including the color conversion member are provided. The color conversion member includes N light transmissive members each containing a different one of N different phosphors illuminated with excitation light to emit fluorescence in a visible wavelength region, and the N light transmissive members are stacked in order (N is a natural number of not less than two). The color conversion member is designed in such a manner that the refractive index increases in the thickness direction while the fluorescence wavelength decreases in the thickness direction. |
