Abstract
Provided is an optical fiber assembly with which flexibility in the vicinity of an alignment member can be maintained, as well as a method for manufacturing this optical fiber assembly, and an optical probe which uses this optical fiber assembly. This optical fiber assembly is equipped with: multiple optical fibers (); an alignment member () that aligns and holds these multiple optical fibers (); a first adhesion part () where the alignment member () and the multiple optical fibers () are adhered by means of a first adhesive agent having curability; and a second adhesion part () where the multiple optical fibers () are adhered to each other within a prescribed distance from the rear end of the alignment member () by means of a second adhesive agent that cures while having greater flexibility than the first adhesive agent.
