Abstract:
An optical module comprising:a semiconductor light-emitting device having a near-field pattern elongated along a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to both a light-emitting direction and a thickness of the semiconductor light-emitting device; andan optical fiber having a light incident face, said light incident face converging a light distribution along a second direction, which is perpendicular to both a longitudinal direction of said optical fiber and said first direction, more than a light intensity distribution along said first direction, said light incident face opposed to a light exit face of said semiconductor light-emitting device; anda condenser lens disposed facing said light exit face of said semiconductor light-emitting device, said condenser lens converging light emitted from said semiconductor light-emitting device onto said light incident face of said optical fiber.
