An optical device includes a glass substrate provided with one or more
V-shaped grooves and an optical fiber array having one or more optical
fibers. The optical fiber array is fixed within the V-shaped grooves of
the glass substrate using a fixing adhesive. As viewed from above, a
first region Z1 (i.e., the region indicated by cross-hatching) and a
second region Z2 are provided on the optical fiber array, and the fixing
adhesive is applied within the first region Z1. A refractive index
matching resin, providing refractive index matching at least with the
optical fibers, is disposed in the second region Z2, wherein the second
region Z2 may be surrounded by the first region Z1.
