Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical interconnection component enabling implementation of optical fiber connection with higher accuracy than by the conventional technologies. The optical interconnection component is configured to maintain arrangement of end faces of a plurality of rotationally-aligned MCFs, so as to reduce connection loss to another component. Since arrangement of the MCFs can be confirmed by markers provided on a holding portion holding the plurality of MCFs inside, it becomes feasible to achieve the optical connection with higher accuracy.
