Abstract
In an optical signal transmission system for transmitting signal light through a transmitting fiber, an optical connector, and a receiving fiber to an optical receptacle, the relationships ϕex<ϕen and ϕpd<ϕen are satisfied, where ϕex is the core diameter of the transmitting fiber at the exit face of the transmitting fiber, ϕen is the core diameter of the receiving fiber at the entrance face of the receiving fiber, and ϕpd is the diameter of a receiving surface of a light receiving element in the optical receptacle, and the relationship NAex>Naen is satisfied, where, in the optical connector, NAex is the numerical aperture (NA) of the signal light emitted from the transmitting fiber, and NAen is the NA of the signal light incident on the receiving fiber.
