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 5):
The optical connection component according to  claim 1 , wherein in a target section where the curvature set along a longitudinal direction of the bent optical fiber is 0.4 [l/mm] or more, an absolute value of a curvature change rate d max /\u0394L is 1.5 [l/mm 2 ] or less, the curvature change rate d max /\u0394L being defined by a maximum curvature d max  in the target section, and\n a shortest distance \u0394L from a section edge of the target section to a position where the maximum curvature d max  is obtained.
