Abstract
A side-coupling optical fiber assembly comprises a first substrate (200), on a surface of which at least one concave groove is provided; an optical fiber (210) disposed in the concave groove; and a second substrate (220) disposed on the first substrate (200) and pressed on the optical fiber (210). The end of the optical fiber (210) between the first substrate (200) and the second substrate (220) is set as a slant surface (240), which is used for performing total reflection for the light beam transmitted in the optical fiber (210). A method for making the side-coupling optical fiber assembly is provided.
