Abstract
A flat portion has a flat top surface, on which a chip carrier is provided. A light-emitting element is mounted on the chip carrier. A vertical portion is integral with the flat portion and extends vertically, i.e., perpendicularly to the flat top surface of the flat portion. A metal plate made of a metal having good welding performance is silver-brazed onto the vertical portion. A lens barrel containing a lens for focusing a light beam from the light-emitting element is inserted in a through-hole of the vertical portion and the metal plate, and welded to the metal plate so that the optical axes of the light-emitting element and the lens coincide with each other.
