Abstract

Disclosed is a graded index lens array which gives good resolution even if its end surfaces are not fully polished during its manufacture and which is less likely to suffer loss in resolution due to damage to its surfaces comprising a plurality of graded index lenses made of a synthetic resin and arranged in parallel, characterized in that at least one end surface of the lens array is coated with a cured film formed from a cross-linkable resin consisting essentially of a multifunctional compound having at least two (meth)acryloyloxy groups per molecule, and a fluorinated alkyl (meth)acrylate.
