DEVICE CAPABLE OF ARRANGING AND HOLDING END OF OPTICAL FIBER WITHIN SUBSTRATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of arranging and holding the end of an optical fiber within a substrate and capable of adjusting the arrangement of the optical fiber after setting up. SOLUTION: The substrate 1 comprises a groove 2 for storing the end 4 of the optical fiber 3, the groove 2 is provided with a plane wall 8 orthogonal to the main surface of the substrate 1, and the groove 2 has a movable part 5 arranged in the facing surface of the plane wall 8. The movable part 5 is moved toward the plane wall 8 between two positions of a withdrawing position in which the end of the optical fiber 3 freely enters the groove 2 and a blocking position in which the movable part 5 presses the optical fiber 3 against the plane wall 8 by coming into contact with the optical fiber 3, and means 21 and 24 which move the movable part 5 toward the plane wall 8 by exerting fixed force on the movable part 5 are provided.
