ABSTRACT:
In order to provide an elements aligning/coupling apparatus which can more efficiently align and couple an optical element with a coupling part by providing a reliable close contact of them, an elements aligning/coupling apparatus according to the present invention in which a coupling part is brought into close contact with an optical element held by an element holder, in which the element holder is resiliently supported by a holder by means of resilient members radially extending from the outer circumference of the element holder. Even in such a situation where those elements are coupled in a state of poor parallelism between their coupling end faces, when those elements are made to press contact with each other, the optical element is tilted against the coupling end face of the coupling part. Accordingly, the resultant coupled component has no gap between the coupling end faces of them.
