A lensed optical fiber and a semiconductor laser module, characterized in that first and second optical fibers, each including a core and a cladding, are connected to one end of a single-mode fiber, including a core and a cladding, in the order named. The core of the first optical fiber has a first square-low index distribution and a length substantially equal to 1/4 of the meandering period of light propagating through the core or an odd multiple thereof. The core of the second optical fiber has a second square-low index distribution and a meandering period different from that of the first optical fiber.

An optical module and a temperature control method therefor, wherein the optical module includes a light-emitting device, an optical waveguide, a cooling device for cooling the light-emitting device, and a package for containing the light-emitting device, one end portion of the optical waveguide and the cooling device, and wherein the light-emitting device and the optical waveguide are optically coupled to each other. The optical waveguide has a grating section formed at the one end portion contained in the package for selectively reflecting only light with a fixed wavelength, and the cooling device cools the grating section in addition to the light-emitting device.
