PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber array 100 in which primary coated optical fibers 5 are held between a V-groove member 1 and a planar member 2 and the distance from the location reference plane 3 to the center point of each primary coated optical fiber can be controlled to a desired set distance H, and to provide a method of manufacturing the optical fiber array. SOLUTION: The optical fiber array, in which a controlling layer 7 is interposed between the optical fibers housed in the V-grooves 10 of the V-groove member and the planar member, is characterised in that the controlling layer 7 satisfying the condition of (dmax+r)<H, wherein H is the desired set distance from the location reference plane 3, which is the back face of the planar member, to the center line of the optical fibers, dmax is the maximum thickness of the planar member and r is the radius of the optical fiber, compensates the deviation from the set distance H due to irregular thickness of the planar member and controls the distance from the center point of each optical fiber to the location reference plane to be coincident with the desired set distance H.
