Abstract
A method of producing an optical connection component in which a surrounding of a plurality of bent glass fibers is integrally coated with resin. The method includes a step of preparing upper and lower molds for molding around a fiber array in which the plurality of glass fibers are arranged in a specified arrangement direction. The molds have two walls spaced apart from each other by a larger distance than the width of the fiber array. The method also includes a step of providing around the fiber array the molds such that each of the walls is disposed outside a corresponding one of two glass fibers that are included in the plurality of glass fibers and that are located at respective sides of the fiber array. The method also includes a step of supplying the resin into the molds.
