Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an optical connector includes at least one optical fiber; and a lens element including at least one lens that couples light to an end face of the optical fiber. The distance FLh between the end face of the optical fiber and a vertex of the lens is expressed by the sum of the distance FL from the vertex of the lens to the focal point F positioned in a back face direction of the lens and the length δ between the end face of the optical fiber and the focal point F, and the length δ is longer than 10 μm.
