Abstract
An optical device includes a light source unit, an optical member, and a holder formed by a single member. The light source unit includes a light source that emits light in a first direction and has a first positioning surface orthogonal to the first direction. The optical member is disposed to be separated from and opposed to the light source unit in the first direction and has an incident surface, an emission surface, and a second positioning surface. The holder has a third positioning surface and a fourth positioning surface, holds the light source unit in a state in which the first positioning surface of the light source unit is set in surface contact with the third positioning surface, and holds the optical member in a state in which the second positioning surface of the optical member is set in surface contact with the fourth positioning surface.
