In a hollow fiber membrane flat module according to the present invention,
both ends of hollow fiber membrane bundle which are formed by bundling a
plurality of hollow fiber membrane as a sheet are fixed to two housing
separately by a fixing resin while maintaining an opening condition in an
opening end section in the follow fiber membrane. Furthermore, a maximum
width in an orthogonal direction to a longitudinal direction of the
hollow fiber membrane is no longer than 25 mm in a cross section which is
orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the housings, and a maximum
deflection in the housings which are measured according to a method for
measuring the deflection according to the present invention is not more
than 1% of a distance between the two housings. In such a hollow fiber
membrane module, it is possible to enhance the integration ratio of the
hollow fiber membrane module per a unit volume of the hollow fiber
membrane module unit in which there is less deflections in the housing
caused by adjust the wavelength dispersion and the dispersion slope
always in minimum level automatically only by matching the position of
the reflecting mirror 8, the dispersion compensation amount and the
dispersion slope compensation amount which correspond to a shape of the
reflecting surface 8a on the reflecting mirror 8 which is selected under
such a current condition in advance. Factors such as an air bubble, and
the entanglement of the hollow fiber membranes is restricted; thus, a
hollow fiber membrane is not damaged. Also, in the hollow fiber membrane
module, it is preferable that the housing is provided with a reinforcing
rib section which strengthens the housing.
