Abstract:
The embodiment relates to an optical connection component including a bent optical fiber having a bent portion including a region where a curvature of the bent portion is maintained at 0.4 [l/mm] or more while substantially no bending stress remains. The bent optical fiber comprises a core, a first cladding, a second cladding, and a third cladding. Based on the third cladding, a relative refractive index difference Δ1 of the core, a relative refractive index difference Δ2 of the first cladding, and a relative refractive index difference Δ3 of the second cladding satisfy relationships of Δ1>Δ2>Δ3 and Δ3<−0.5[%]. The product V3 of the Δ3 and a cross-sectional area S of the second cladding is less than −200[%·μm 2 ]. The curvature in the bent portion is 0.6 [l/mm] or less over an entire length of the bent portion.

Claim (Index 8):
The optical connection component according to  claim 1 , further comprising a fiber fixing component including a holding unit linearly holding one of two sections positioned on both sides of the bent portion, the two sections being continuous with the bent portion, the fiber fixing component being fixed to one of the two sections via the holding unit.
