Abstract
An optical connector is structured so as to include a fiber connection structure therein. A multi-core fiber is included inside a ferrule, and affixed to the ferrule substrate. One end surface of the multi-core fiber is exposed to an end surface of the ferrule. The other end of the multi-core fiber passes through and is affixed to a capillary. A plurality of optical fiber pass through a capillary that faces the capillary, and are affixed thereto the capillary in the same manner. Seven optical fiber cores of the same diameter are joined in a close-packed arrangement in the fiber connection structure.
