OPTICAL CONNECTOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the intensity of light emitted from the end face of an optical fiber to a photodetector approximately constant. SOLUTION: This optical connector is constituted by inserting the optical fiber 2 into a fiber housing chamber 13 of a housing body 10. The optical fiber 2 in this housing body 10 has a bending part formed by a bending means and adjusts the incident angle of the incident light on this bending part. The bending means consists of an insertion hole 11 which is formed at one side wall 10a of the housing body 10, a fiber extrusion hole 15 which is disposed at the other side wall (10b) and extrudes the optical fiber 2 and a fiber pressing part 32 which is fitted into this insertion hole 11. The fiber bending member 30 is mounted to one side wall of the housing body 10, by which the fiber pressing part 30 is butted against the optical fiber 2.
