Abstract
An optical connector, optical connector system, and active optical cable provided with these suffer little effect from scratches on the end face of an optical waveguide or from foreign material (dust) adhering to the end face, are manufacturable easily at low-cost, and moreover can send/receive optical signals efficiently between the end faces of the optical waveguide and an optical fiber. An optical connector () includes a connector body () provided between and connecting a substrate () faced by an optical input/output end face () of an optical waveguide () and a ferrule () faced by an optical input/output end face () of an optical fiber (), and a lens portion () provided in the connector body () between the end face () of the optical waveguide () and the end face () of the optical fiber () and configured to send/receive an optical signal between the end faces ().
