An optical device inclination angle adjuster for adjusting an optical axis of an optical device. The optical device has an optical axis and a peripheral portion, and is held by a holder. The adjuster includes an annular plate inserted between the optical device and the holder. The annular plate is in alignment with the peripheral portion of the optical device, and has an opening with an axis in alignment with the optical axis of the optical device to permit passage of light through the opening of the annular plate and through the optical device. A first pair of projections are formed between the annular plate and the optical device. The first pair of projections are disposed diametrically opposite to each other with respect to the optical axis and project in a direction parallel to the optical axis. A second pair of projections are formed between the annular plate and the holder. The second pair of projections are disposed diametrically opposite to each other with respect to the optical axis and project in a direction parallel to the optical axis. The first pair of projections and the second pair of projections are disposed at different rotary angles about the optical axis; whereby the inclination angle is adjusted by rotating the optical device about the first pair of projections or about the second pair of projections.
