An object of the invention of the present application is to provide a
V-shaped groove block for an optical fiber which has a simple structure,
and can high strength fusion splice between optical fibers; in order to
achieve the object, the present invention provide a V-shaped groove block
for optical fibers for aligning and positioning the axis of naked optical
fibers, wherein a thin film comprising a material that will not damage the
