A wavelength conversion module includes: a first fundamental wave
propagation optical fiber for propagating a fundamental wave emitted from
a laser light source; a first wavelength conversion element, optically
connected to the first fundamental wave propagation optical fiber, for
converting the fundamental wave emitted from the first fundamental wave
propagation optical fiber into a harmonic wave; and a first harmonic
propagation optical fiber, optically connected to the first wavelength
conversion element, for propagating the harmonic wave emitted from the
first wavelength conversion element, wherein the core diameter of the
first harmonic propagation optical fiber is 0.5 to 0.9 times as large as
the core diameter of first fundamental wave propagation optical fiber.
