Abstract
An optical fiber connector includes a connector ferrule having an end face serving as a connection end face of the optical fiber connector, and an optical fiber fixed in the connector ferrule and protruding from the end face of the connector ferrule. A central portion of the optical fiber including a core thereof protrudes from a peripheral portion thereof. Thus, even in cases where the connection end face of an optical component to which the optical fiber connector is connected is uneven and a region thereof to which the optical fiber is connected is recessed, the core of the optical fiber can be connected to the region without fail since the core of the optical fiber protrudes from the peripheral portion of same.
