Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow assembling and fixing with high accuracy by positioning and fixing the fixing part by parts on which no adhesive is applied. CONSTITUTION:An optical part 10 and an optical part 11 are adhered and fixed via the adhesive, for example, solder 13 in a groove 12. The fixing surfaces 14, 15 for positioning on which the solder 13 is not applied are positioned in the height direction of the optical part 10. The adhesive strength is improved as shrinkage takes place and a tensile stress is generated in the solder at the time when the solder 13 cures. Namely, the optical part 10 to be adhered and fixed is positioned by the part on which no adhesive 13 is applied. The grooves 12 in which the adhesive 13 is admitted are formed on the fixing surfaces 14, 15 and further the parts of the fixing surfaces 14, 15 where the adhesive 13 is applied is subjected to gold plating. The assembly accuracy is improved in this way.
