Abstract
This fixing structure for an optical fiber comprises a groove provided to a fiber-fixing base along the axial direction of an optical fiber to be fixed. The groove opens upward. The optical fiber is arranged within the groove along the groove. The optical fiber is fixed to the inner surface of the groove using an adhesive. The inner-side surfaces of the groove that face each other serve as fixing surfaces for the optical fiber. In other words, the optical fiber is fixed to the fixing surfaces that are the inner-side surfaces of the groove and that face each other using the adhesive. A space in which the fiber-fixing base and the adhesive are not bonded is formed in the vertical direction of the optical fiber. In other words, a space is provided in a vertical direction that is substantially perpendicular to the fixing direction in which the optical fiber is fixed.
