A laser light source (10) has semiconductor lasers (1) and a waveguide
tube (3) for propagating emission light from each of the semiconductor
lasers (1). The semiconductor lasers are arranged on the upper end on the
incident surface (31) side of the waveguide tube such that the emission
light (4) from each of the semiconductor lasers enters into the waveguide
tube from one end surface (31) of the waveguide tube and exits from the
other end surface (32) of the waveguide tube. The structure can realize a
small-sized laser light source having high output and capable of
outputting emission light having uniform emission light intensity
distribution.
