Abstract
An optical fiber holding device of the invention includes a holder that includes a base and a lid which are openable and closable, sandwiches an optical fiber when the base and the lid are in a closed state, and thereby holds the optical fiber. The holder includes: an elastic body; a drive unit configured to generate driving power; and a pusher. The pusher is configured to generate a pressing force based on the driving power generated by the drive unit and press the lid by the pressing force via the elastic body. The lid and the base are configured to sandwich and hold the optical fiber based on the pressing force transmitted through the elastic body when the lid is pressed by the pusher via the elastic body.
