In a laser module, a laser beam which is emitted from a laser element is
focused by a condensing optical system and caused to enter an incidence
end of an optical fiber. A laser device is provided with a plurality of
these laser modules. Emission end portions of the optical fibers are
bundled to form a laser emission portion. A thickness of cladding h of
each optical fiber is set to a value calculated in accordance with the
following equation:.times..times..ltoreq..times..times..times..times..tim-
es..times..times..times..times..times..times..times..times..times..times..-

emit a laser-beam with a high intensity that is required for
functionality as a laser light source, for the purpose of raising
resolution of an exposure apparatus.
