<p>An optical fiber array includes a V-grooved substrate (2) having a V-shaped groove (3) on the surface for aligning an optical fiber, a plurality of optical fibers (61) fixed by adhesive into the V-shaped grooves (3) of the V-grooved substrate, and a fixing substrate (4) fixed by an adhesive onto the surface of the optical fibers (61). When fixing the V-grooved substrate (2), the optical fibers (61), and the fixing substrate (4), an adhesive containing a resin composition (component A) having OH-radical after hardened and a filler (component B) is used. This adhesive has a glass transition temperature slightly lower than the ambient test temperature and a comparatively high elasticity. Accordingly, even under the condition of a high temperature and high humidity, no great stress is generated in the adhesive. Consequently, no crevice is generated between the fixing substrate (4) and the adhesive and accordingly, no peeling off is generated by intrusion of water.</p> |
