An optical fiber coupling part capable of reducing coupling loss while
maintaining a large operating distance, and having a good module
assembling property. AT least one GRIN lens having numerical aperture NA
that is larger than numerical aperture NAs of a light-emitting source
(such as a semiconductor laser) is fusion-spliced with one end of the
optical fiber. All lights emitted from the light-emitting source can
enter the GRIN lens, and the loss of the light can thereby be reduced. In
addition, a second GRIN lens having numerical aperture NA.sub.2 is
fusion-spliced with one end of the optical fiber having numerical
aperture NA.sub.f, and further a first GRIN lens having numerical
aperture NA.sub.1, which is larger than numerical aperture NA.sub.2, is
fusion-spliced with the other end of the second GRIN lens. Thereby, the
light emitted from the light-emitting source can efficiently enter the
optical fiber, and loss of the light can thereby be reduced. In this
case, the formula expressed by
NA.sub.f.ltoreq.NA.sub.2
