Abstract:
Provided is a polarization-combining module in which it is possible to suppress deviation of an optical axis in a polarization-combining optical system and to perform efficient polarization combination with a less optical loss.A polarization-combining module includes: a PBS 4 which combines two linearly polarized lights input and emits the combined light; a λ/2 wavelength plate 3 which is provided on an optical path of at least one of the two linearly polarized lights which are input to the PBS 4, and provides polarization rotation by a predetermined angle to the linearly polarized light that passes therethrough; and a pedestal member 10 on which the λ/2 wavelength plate 3 and the PBS 4 are mounted, in which the pedestal member 10 has a protrusion part 12 which defines mounting positions of the λ/2 wavelength plate 3 and the PBS 4 so as to be separated from each other and be parallel to each other, and the λ/2 wavelength plate 3 and the PBS 4 are mounted on the pedestal member 10 with apart of each of the λ/2 wavelength plate 3 and the PBS 4 being brought into contact with the protrusion part 12.
