Abstract

A collimated-beam generating device using a semiconductor laser includes a two-lens system in which light converged by a first lens is converted into a collimated beam by a second lens, whereby a distance between the semiconductor laser and the first lens is made large, assembly of the device is made easy, and a collimated beam having a small beam diameter can be produced.
