Abstract:
1. A multifiber optical connector, comprising: a ferrule comprising a junction-end-face and a plurality of optical-fiber-insertion holes which open in the junction-end-face; openings of the optical-fiber-insertion holes arranged on the junction-end-face; and optical fibers which are received and fixed in the optical-fiber-insertion holes and then polished such that, on a reference plane “P” which intersects orthogonally a central axis “C” of the ferrule, which is disposed at a front side, in the connecting direction, of ends of the optical fibers, and by which positions of tips of the optical fibers are calculated and determined, a position of one of the tips of the optical fibers disposed on each side of side portions of the junction-end-face is closer to the reference plane “P” than a position of one of the tips of the optical fibers disposed on a central portion of the junction-end-face.
