Abstract:
To provide an optical component that is intended to prevent the reduction in the manufacturing yield that may be caused by excessive grinding of the optical component. An optical component includes a plurality of optical fibers arranged in a row and having respective end faces that are inclined with respect to optical axes of the optical fibers, and a holder that holds the plurality of optical fibers. The holder has a first facet that is flush with the end faces of the plurality of optical fibers, a reflecting film that covers the end faces of the plurality of optical fibers excluding at least one end face, and a second facet that forms a transmitting surface for light reflected by one of or both a corresponding one of the covered end faces and the reflecting film.

Claim (Index 11):
The method according to  claim 10 , wherein\n the second-facet-forming step includes grinding a portion of the reflecting film, a portion of the holder, and a portion of each of claddings of the plurality of optical fibers.
