Pluralities of lens parts 20, 22 are formed on a lens substrate 16 by
dry-etching. The lens parts 20 and 22 have same structures, and the lens
part 20 includes toroidal lens surfaces S1 and S2 opposing to each other
on one principal surface and another principal surface of the substrate
16. Assuming that a cross section in a y-axis direction of a laser beam
emitted from a laser active layer in a z-axis direction is long and
narrow in an x-axis direction, the lens surface S2 is formed to have a
radius of curvature R.sub.21 in the x-axis direction smaller than a
radius of curvature R.sub.22 in the y-axis direction, and the lens
surface S1 is formed to have a radius of curvature R.sub.11 in the x-axis
direction smaller than a radius of curvature R.sub.12 in the y-axis
direction.
