Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/221717
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to reduce reflection attenuation in a lens-type optical connector connection structure. This optical connector (10) is characterized by comprising: a plurality of optical fibers (18) arranged in an array; and a lens array plate (14) having a first main surface (40) on which a plurality of lenses (44) corresponding to the plurality of optical fibers are formed, and a second main surface (41) opposing the first main surface and joined to end surfaces (180) of the plurality of optical fibers so that the plurality of lenses optically couple with the corresponding plurality of optical fibers. The optical connector is also characterized in that at least one of the end surfaces of the plurality of optical fibers and the second main surface are inclined with respect to a plane (182) perpendicular to the optical axis (181) of each of the optical fibers.
