PCT No. PCT/JP95/00767 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 22, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 22, 1996 PCT Filed Apr. 19, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/29422 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 2, 1995Peripheral surfaces of end portions of individual optical fibers constituting a first optical fiber array are in close contact with an optical fiber fitting surface of a base, while the peripheral surfaces of the end portions of the individual optical fibers are in close contact with one another. Peripheral surfaces of end portions of optical fibers on both sides out of the individual optical fibers constituting the first optical fiber array are in close contact with a pair of stopper members, respectively, disposed on both sides of an end portion of the first optical fiber array. A second optical fiber or optical fiber array is opposed to an end face of the end portion of the first optical fiber array. Between projecting portions of the pair of stopper members projected from the end face of the first optical fiber array, peripheral surfaces of end portions of the individual optical fibers constituting the second optical fiber or optical fiber array are in close contact with the optical fiber fitting surface of the base.
