ABSTRACT:
A fiber optics device of this invention includes first and second assemblies. The first assembly is obtained by integrating a plurality of optical fibers by bundling, and has first and second end faces formed obliquely to the optical axis of the optical fibers contained in it. The second end face has small recesses and projections to scatter light emerging from it. The second assembly is obtained by integrating a plurality of optical fibers by bundling, and has first and second end faces substantially intersecting perpendicularly to the optical axis of the optical fibers contained in it. The first end face of the second assembly is bonded to the second end face of the first assembly. As a result, an optical loss occurring at the bonding portion between the assemblies can be decreased.
