Abstract

An optical connection component includes an optical fiber; a high relative refractive-index difference optical fiber that is fusion-spliced to the optical fiber and has a greater relative refractive-index difference to a cladding of a core than the optical fiber; and an accommodating member accommodating the entire length of the optical fiber and the high relative refractive-index difference optical fiber, and has a first end face on which an end face of the optical fiber on the side opposite to the fusion-spliced side is exposed to be substantially flush with the first end face, and a second end face on which an end face of the high relative refractive-index difference optical fiber on the side opposite to the fusion-spliced side is exposed to be substantially flush with the second end face. The optical fiber and the high relative refractive-index difference optical fiber are fixed to the accommodating member.
