Abstract: Optical fibers (220) are routed over a substrate (210), and an optical fiber wiring board (200) is thereby constructed. A relative refraction index difference &Dgr; of the optical fiber (220) is increased to be greater than a relative refraction index difference &Dgr;0 of a communication-dedicated single mode optical fiber, and a core diameter thereof is increased to be larger than a core diameter of the communication-dedicated optical fiber. Thereby, a mode field diameter thereof is set to be substantially the same as a mode field diameter of the communication-dedicated optical fiber.

Abstract: A thin member for sealing and holding optical fibers laid two-dimensionally is composed of a base member layer, an adhesive member layer deposited on the base member layer, and a laminate member layer holding the optical fibers between it and the adhesive member layer. The optical fibers are arranged parallel not to be superposed on one another. They are bent individually by 180 degrees at the right-hand end of the thin member, bent downward toward the lower side of the thin member at the area from the central part to the left-hand side part, and led out of the thin member. Hence the structure is thin and therefore can be accommodated in a small space, enabling a small size. If the portions, led out of the thin member, of the optical fibers are covered with tubes, breakage of the optical fibers can be prevented. The thin member can be flexible.

Abstract: An optical fiber board has a substrate, optical fiber arranged as wiring on the substrate, and extension portions in each of which some optical fibers are led out from the substrate to be adjacent to each other in a row. The adjacent optical fibers at a base portion of the extension portion are not fixed to one another. The adjacent optical fibers at a forward end portion of the extension portion are fixed to one another integrally. The base portion has a predetermined length from an edge portion of the substrate.

Abstract: An optical fiber board has a substrate 2, optical fibers arranged as wiring on the substrate 2, and extension portions 10 in which the optical fibers are led out from the substrate. The optical fibers in the extension portions 10 are covered with protective tubes 5 for protecting the optical fibers. One end portion 51 of each of the protective tubes 5 is attached to corresponding ones of notch portions 4 provided in an end edge portion of the substrate 2 from which the optical fibers are extended out.

Abstract: An optical fiber sheet is provided with a plurality of input ports, each constituted by an optical fiber group, a plurality of output ports, each constituted by an optical fiber group made of optical fibers selected from a plurality of optical fibers extending from the plurality of input ports, and a sheet substrate on which the plurality of optical fibers extending from the plurality of input ports to the plurality of output ports is arranged. The plurality of optical fibers includes an optical fiber provided with an identification means that allows identification of the input port side portion and the output port side portion by visual confirmation.

Abstract: A structure for retaining an optical fiber, capable of not only handling a long optical fiber as one piece without causing the optical fiber as a whole to get loose but also reducing an area occupied by the optical fiber and retaining the same stably without causing micro-bending thereof to occur, wherein the optical fiber (1) is arranged so as to form planarly staggered turning portions thereof without causing intersecting parts to occur, a plurality of similar planarly staggered turning portions of the optical fiber being laminated in the same position in the direction of the thickness thereof which is at right angles to a plane on which the optical fiber is arranged, the resultant optical fiber (1) being generally retained in a sheet-like state by a fixing material (2), such as a bonding agent and a film.
