ABSTRACT:
A fiber fixing device for a linear lightguide comprises a tubular chuck and an elastic tubular body. The chuck includes a hollow part along its axis for receiving an optical fiber, a grasp part for grasping the received optical fiber, and a coupling part supporting the grasp part. The elastic tubular body is elastically expanded outwardly in the radial direction and in this state is fitted onto the grasp part of the chuck. Thus, the elastic tubular body exerts an elastic restoring force to radially inwardly press the grasp part which thereby grasps the optical fiber.
