Claim 10:
11. The device for aligning multicore fibers according to claim 9, wherein
the camera captures a second set of images of the side surfaces of each of the pair of multicore fibers in a state in which one multicore fiber and the other multicore fiber have the relationship of the specific relative rotation positions,
the processor determines similarity of the captured second set of images of each of the pair of multicore fibers in the state in which the one multicore fiber and the other multicore fiber have the relationship of the specific relative rotation positions, and
the rotating portion rotates at least one of the pair of multicore fibers about the central axis so as to have a similarity in a predetermined range higher than the similarity determined in the state where the one multicore fiber and the other multicore fiber have the relationship of the specific relative rotation positions.
