In a laser module comprising a hermetically sealed container having inside
a semiconductor laser device whose emission wavelength is 350.about.450
nm, generation of organic volatile gas is suppressed in the container and
life of the module is prolonged. In a laser module comprising a
hermetically sealed container having inside a semiconductor laser device
whose emission wavelength is 350.about.450 nm and whose life is 5500
hours or more, optical components whose organic volatile gas generation
measured by GC/MS is 10 .mu.g/g or less at 150.degree. C. are positioned
in the container. In addition, as an organic adhesive to fix the optical
components such as a collimating lens is used an organic adhesive whose
organic volatile gas generation measured by GC/MS is 300 .mu.g/g or less
at 15.degree. C.
