An angle .beta. between a principal ray of incident light incident on an
optical fiber via a lens system and a marginal ray of reflected light
nearest to the principal ray of the incident light when the reflected
light is the incident light reflected on an entrance end surface of the
optical fiber is larger than an angle .theta. between the principal ray
and a marginal ray of the incident light. A receiving surface is provided
separately from an inner surface of a light-passing hole so that the
reflected light is received by the receiving surface. Therefore, the
reflected light from the entrance end surface of the optical fiber is
prevented from returning to a semiconductor laser light source to thereby
attain improvement in stability and high reliability of laser light
output of the semiconductor laser light source.
