The purpose of the present invention is to provide a laser module having improved heat dissipating characteristics, and a method for manufacturing the laser module. This laser module is provided with: a bottom plate (11) of a box body (10); a frame member (12) of the box body (10), said frame member having a through hole (OP), which communicates an inner space and an outer space of the box body (10) with each other, and being fixed to the bottom plate (11); a pipe member (20), which has a hollow (PH) communicated with the through hole (OP), and which is connected to an outer wall of the frame member (12); an optical fiber (50), which is held to the hollow (PH) of the pipe member (20); and a laser element (30), which is housed in the inner space of the box body (10), and which has the optical axis thereof aligned with that of the optical fiber (50). When the bottom plate (11) is placed on a flat surface, the bottom surface of the pipe member (20) is on the same plane having thereon a bottom plate portion that is in contact with the flat surface. |
