Abstract
An optical component includes: a lens that includes a lens surface and a tapered side surface, the tapered side surface extending from an outer circumference of the lens surface in an axial direction that intersects the lens surface and having an outer diameter progressively larger away from the lens surface. A center of the outer circumference of the lens surface is displaced, in a direction intersecting the axial direction, from a center of an outer circumference of the side surface at a position distanced from the lens surface in the axial direction. The optical component may further include a frame body in which the lens is fitted. The frame body may include a tapered engaging surface corresponding to the side surface of the lens. The lens may be fitted in the frame body and is positioned in a circumferential direction about the axial direction.
