Abstract

An optical connector according to the present disclosure comprises an optical connector ferrule that includes a ferrule end surface and at least one through-hole, and an optical waveguide member that includes a distal-end surface and a plurality of refractive index variation regions and is held by the optical connector ferrule in a state of being inserted into the through-hole. The plurality of refractive index variation regions include at least one core. The ferrule end surface and the distal-end surface are inclined parallel to an inclined surface inclined with respect to a surface perpendicular to the center axis of the optical waveguide member in a cross section including the center axis. In the distal-end surface, when a straight line passing through the center of a first refractive index variation region, parallel to the inclined surface, and parallel to the cross section including the center axis is drawn, the center of a second refractive index variation region is disposed at a position offset from the straight line.
