A fibre-type light wavelength conversion device comprises a fibre-type wavelength conversion element for changing the wavelength of an incident light and a prismatic means for transforming said incident light, whose wavelength has been changed by said wavelength conversion element, into a parallel light, wherein said prismatic means is a Fresnel lens comprised of a plurality of concentric conical ring zones whose cross-section including its optical axis has a saw-tooth shape or comprised of a same pitch circular grating. Furthermore, a vertical angle of a surface of emergence of said conical ring zones is determined so as to satisfy the following equations of: sin x=n.sing y y+z=(.pi./2)-.alpha. cos .alpha.=n.sin z where x represents an angle of incidence of said incident light with respect to said optical axis of said Fresnel lens, n represents a refractive index of said Fresnel lens, y represents an angle of refraction at a surface of incidence, and z represents an angle of incidence into said surface of emergence.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fibre-type light conversion device which is adapted such that the second harmonic wave is collimated by means of an optical part which can be produced in large quantities at a low price.
The fibre-type light wavelength conversion device according to the present invention has a construction in which a Fresnel lens comprised of a plurality of conical ring zones and having a saw-tooth cross-section or comprised of a same pitch circular grating is provided as a prism for converting the light, whose wavelength is changed by the light wave-length converting device, into a parallel light.
