Abstract
An optical fiber array according to one embodiment includes: an optical fiber; and a support member that supports the optical fiber. The support member comprises a mixture material of a base material and a solid material made of a material different from the base material, in which the base material contains at least either of thermoplastic resin or thermosetting resin, a light transmittance for at least one wavelength within a UV light wavelength range greater than or equal to 300 nm and less than or equal to 450 nm with respect to the support member having a thickness of 3 mm is 30% or greater, and an average light transmittance for a wavelength within a visible light wavelength range greater than or equal to 380 nm and less than or equal to 780 nm with respect to the support member having a thickness of 3 mm is 70% or less.
