Abstract:
A first disclosure is an optical fiber member equipped with two holding members that hold an optical fiber such that an end surface of the optical fiber is located on one end and a curving portion having a coat of the optical fiber is curved to be extended at another end; the holding members are provided with holding flat portions that sandwich an end portion of the optical fiber where the coat is removed such that the end surface of the optical fiber is located on the one end; at least any of the holding flat portions has an aligning groove to fix a position of the end portion of the optical fiber; the holding member is provided with a curved surface at a position adjacent to the curving portion in the extending direction D1; and the two holding members are equal in thermal expansion coefficient.
