A two-dimensional optical element array is provided, including a two-dimensional
integrated body or two-dimensional stack of a plurality of sets of an optical fiber
and a substrate. The substrate has one or more grooves each suited to a profile
of the optical fiber on one surface thereof, and one or more optical fibers are
aligned and fixed in the grooves. An end face of the substrate and optical fiber
from which light is outgoing or incoming is slanted by a predetermined angle ()
with respect to a plane perpendicular to a central axis of the optical fiber.
