Abstract
An optical connector member is provided, which includes an optical waveguide retaining portion provided on one of opposite sides of an optical coupling portion and having a cavity for retaining an end portion of an optical waveguide, and an optical fiber retaining portion provided on the other side and having a through-hole for retaining an end portion of an optical fiber. A distal end face of the end portion of the optical waveguide retained in the cavity of the optical waveguide retaining portion and a distal end face of the end portion of the optical fiber retained in the through-hole of the optical fiber retaining portion are positioned in opposed relation to each other in the optical coupling portion with an optical axis of the optical waveguide in alignment with an optical axis of the optical fiber.
