- the gist of the invention is to use a lens array which has separate alignment means for optical alignment with the fiber-groove array which cooperate with the V-grooves provided on the fiber-groove array for the optical fibers.
- the use of the fiber-based V-grooves of the fiber-groove array for alignment avoids the need to create special V-grooves deviating in shape and depth for adjustment, resulting in ease of manufacture and assembly avoiding process-related errors in accuracy.
- the separate adjusting means on the lens array thereby ensure that the lenses of the lens array are free of restrictions in terms of their design, and that an over-determination during the adjustment can be avoided.
- the adjusting means are preferably arranged on the main body of the lens array. In this way, they do not interfere with the production of the fiber-groove array and can be taken into account comparatively easily in the production of the lens array.

If the positions of the Justiernoppen on the body are then fitted into the periodic scheme of the lenses, which is based on the periodic scheme of the V-grooves on the fiber-groove array, there is an automatic adjustment, if the lens array with Justiernoppen is used in corresponding V-grooves.
- the adjustment nubs may be used in the manufacture of the lens array of glass or other optically transparent material, e.g. be made by material-removing techniques such as grinding or etching, as they are also used in the manufacture of the lens array.
