ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber array including a V-groove substrate having a V-groove on which an optical fiber is arranged and a fiber fix substrate for fixing the optical fiber arranged on the V-grooves. In the optical fiber array according to the invention, one of the V-groove substrate and the fiber fix substrate has a concave portion into which the other substrate is arranged in such a manner that a bottom surface of the concave portion of the one substrate is connected to a bottom surface of the other substrate directly or via the optical fiber, and the concave portion has side end walls whose thickness is thicker than that of a bottom portion in which the V-grooves are formed. Moreover, side inner surfaces of the concave portion of the one substrate and side surfaces of the other substrate have a taper shape extending gradually wider toward an opening of the concave portion.
