OPTICAL CONNECTOR AND OPTICAL CONNECTOR CONNECTION STRUCTURE

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 pluralityof 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 withrespect to a plane (182) perpendicular to the optical axis (181) of each of the optical fibers. 本发明提供一种光连接器，该光连接器降低透镜方式的光连接器连接结构中的反射衰减量。本发明所涉及的光连接器(10)具有：多个光纤(18)，其排列为阵列状；以及透镜阵列板(14)，其具有第1主面(40)和第2主面(41)，在所述第1主面形成有与所述多个光纤对应的多
