An optical module includes a light-forming unit configured to form light, and a protective member surrounding and sealing the light-forming unit. The light-forming unit includes a base member including an electronic temperature control module, a plurality of laser diodes arranged on the base member, a filter arranged on the base member and configured to multiplex light from the plurality of laser diodes, a beam shaping portion arranged on the base member and configured to convert a beam shape of the light multiplexed by the filter, and a MEMS arranged on the base member and including a scanning mirror configured to scan the light shaped in the beam shaping portion. The protective member includes a base body, and a lid welded to the base body.
