Abstract:
An optical fiber block comprising:an optical fiber arrangement section having a plurality of V-grooves; a stress-relieving recess section extending from the optical fiber arrangement section, the stress-relieving recess section having a flat surface on which a ribbon optical fiber is fixed; and, at least two holding sub-blocks formed at one end of the flat surface of the stress-relieving recess section for preventing the ribbon optical fiber placed on the flat surface from escaping out of the flat surface and for guiding a flow of epoxy resin injected toward the ribbon optical fiber, wherein the optical fiber block comprises at least two holding sub-blocks formed at edges of the flat surface of the stress-relieving recess section, defining a seating space between two holding sub-blocks for receiving the ribbon optical fiber thereto, thereby guiding a flow of epoxy resin injected into the seating space; and wherein each of the two sub-holding blocks comprises a slant surface, respectively, so that said slant surfaces face each other and slant downward toward an upper surface of the seating space.
