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 3):
The optical connection component according to  claim 1 , wherein the bent optical fiber has a mode field diameter of 8.2 to 9.0 [\u03bcm] at a wavelength of 1.31 [\u03bcm], a cutoff wavelength of 1260 [nm] or less measured on a 22 [mm] length of fiber, a glass outer diameter of 80 [\u03bcm] or more, and multi-path interference of \u221230 [dB] or less at the wavelength of 1.31 [\u03bcm].
