    Abstract: A metallic cable includes, in order from an inner side thereof, a plurality of coated conduction wires, a press winding tape, a laminated tape, and an outer jacket. The outer jacket is provided on an outer circumference of the laminated tape and such that it covers the outer circumference of the laminated tape. The outer jacket is made of polyethylene having a density greater than or equal to that of medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) (≥930 kg/m3), and more preferably made of high-density polyethylene (≥942 kg/m3). If polyethylene having a density that is equal to or greater than that of MDPE is used to form the outer jacket, the temperature that is appropriate for extruding MDPE approaches a bonding temperature range of the resin layer of the laminated tape. The resin layer and the metal layer can be bonded and joined together at an overlapped part, tightly enclosing a cable core.

    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a substrate having a mounting surface, a semiconductor laser element supported by the mounting surface, a first mirror member supported by the mounting surface and having a first reflective surface, and a second mirror member supported by a support member and spaced apart from the first mirror member, and having a second reflective surface at least a part of which is positioned above at least a part of the first reflective surface. The semiconductor laser element is configured to emit a laser beam toward the first reflective surface in a first direction, the first reflective surface reflects the laser beam to change a traveling direction of the laser beam to a second direction, and the second reflective surface reflects the laser beam reflected by the first reflective surface to change the traveling direction of the laser beam to a third direction.
