Abstract
Optical fibers constituting optical fiber rows are positioned as pinched between base plates defining numerous positioning V-grooves. In each optical fiber row, the optical fibers are arranged at a fixed pitch P. The optical fibers have projections thereof arranged at a fixed pitch PX in a secondary scanning direction, and at a fixed pitch PY in a primary scanning direction. The positions of the projections of the optical fibers constituting the optical fiber rows are partly coinciding in the secondary scanning direction.
