A semiconductor laser diode module in which a laser diode and an optical fiber
are optically coupled with each other efficiently irrespective of an ambient temperature
change within the laser diode module. The laser diode module includes a laser diode,
an optical system including an optical fiber and a lens portion, a holder configured
to receive a portion of the optical system, a base having a holder mounting member
and a fastening member, and a bottom plate configured to support the base. The
holder is mounted to the fastening member at a first joint position, and the fastening
member is mounted to the holder mounting member at a second joint position, where
the first and second joint positions are located at substantially a same distance
from the bottom plate. Alternatively, the first and second joint positions are
coplanar with an active layer of the diode. Alternatively, the holder is mounted
to the fastening member at a plurality of first joint positions, and the fastening
member being mounted to the holder mounting member at a plurality of second joint
positions, where the plurality of first and second joint positions are coplanar.
