A collimator lens converts light beams emitted from a low reflectance
facet of a semiconductor laser into parallel light beams. A diffraction
grating receives and diffracts the light beams at a predetermined
incident position and a predetermined angle of a diffraction face. A
turnable mirror has a mirror surface which is positioned opposite the
diffractance facet of the diffraction grating, makes the diffracted light
beams incident in a reverse optical path to the diffraction face, and
returns the incident light beams to the laser. A stationary mirror makes
the light beams from the collimator lens incident from a predetermined
direction to a predetermined position of the diffraction grating at the
side of the mirror surface of a virtual plane extending from the mirror
surface of the mirror and at the side of the diffraction face of a
virtual plane extending from the diffraction face of the diffraction
grating.
