PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small light emitting apparatus at low cost and with a simple structure. SOLUTION: This light emitting apparatus is equipped with a surface emitting array 1 including a plurality of surface emitting parts 3, a diffractive optical element array 4 including a plurality of diffractive optical elements 6 that converge the outgoing light of the plurality of surface emitting parts 3 on one point, and an optical fiber 7 that receives the light converged by the diffractive optical element array 4 at one end to make it exit from the other end. Consequently, compared with the conventional system of converging light with a plurality of optical fibers, price reduction of the apparatus, simplification of the structure and the miniaturization of the apparatus can be achieved.
