The invention discloses a linear
optical fiber array. The
optical fiber array comprises a
baseboard, a cover plate, and several strands of bare
optical fiber between the
baseboard and the cover plate,wherein a
coating is removed from the bare optical
fiber, the cover plate comprises a
silicon cover plate and a
glass cover plate, and several trapezoidal grooves which are parallel, densely arrangedat equal intervals and are of the same structure are symmetrically formed in the lower surface of the
silicon cover plate and the upper surface of the
baseboard. The upper ends and the lower ends ofthe
bare fiber are arranged in the corresponding trapezoidal grooves of the
silicon cover plate and the baseboard respectively, and are in contact with the bottoms of the trapezoidal grooves. The bareoptical
fiber in the trapezoidal grooves in the front end of the baseboard is pressed through the corresponding trapezoidal grooves of the silicon cover plate, and the bare optical
fiber in the trapezoidal grooves in the rear end of the baseboard is pressed through the
glass cover plate, and therefore each strand of bare optical fiber of the densely arranged optical fiber is jointly located by the corresponding trapezoidal groove and the adjacent optical fiber. By means of the linear optical
fiber array, the problem that the precision of locating a fiber core in the optical
fiber array utilized during linear image
information transmission is solved, vertical offset errors and horizontal cumulative errors of the fiber core in the optical
fiber array are avoided, and the linear optical fiber array has the advantages of being high in fiber core locating precision, simple in structure and easy to manufacture.
