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 1):
An optical connection component mainly comprised of SiO 2  glass, the optical connection component comprising a bent optical fiber having a bent portion, the bent portion including a region where a curvature of the bent portion is maintained at 0.4 [l/mm] or more in a state where substantially no bending stress remains, wherein\n the bent optical fiber at least includes a core, a first cladding surrounding the core, a second cladding surrounding the first cladding, and a third cladding surrounding the second cladding, a relative refractive index difference \u03941 of the core with respect to the third cladding, a relative refractive index difference \u03942 of the first cladding with respect to the third cladding, and a relative refractive index difference \u03943 of the second cladding with respect to the third cladding satisfy relationships of\n \u03941>\u03942>\u03943 and \u03943<\u22120.5[%], \n a product V3 of the relative refractive index difference \u03943 and a cross-sectional area S of the second cladding is less than \u2212200[%\u00b7\u03bcm 2 ], and the curvature in the bent portion is 0.6 [l/mm] or less over an entire length of the bent portion in the bent optical fiber.
