Abstract
An optical connector includes a ferrule, a first optical fiber retained in the ferrule, a clamp section including an insertion section where a second optical fiber is inserted, a solid index-matching material disposed on an end face of the first optical fiber on an insertion section side, and a projecting portion on the end face of the first optical fiber and that projects more toward the insertion section side than a central region of the end face. The clamp section centers and fixes the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber.
