摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical communication device capable of further reducing a connection loss.SOLUTION: An optical communication device comprises: a lens substrate 120 configured to have a first face on which a plurality of lenses 121 corresponding to a plurality of channels of optical communication are two-dimensionally formed; and a ferrule 110 configured to be disposed facing a second face that is the opposite face of the first face of the lens substrate 120 and to be provided with through holes into which optical fibers are inserted in positions corresponding to the plurality of lenses 121 respectively. A region of the lens substrate 120 or the ferrule 110 having a predetermined length at least in the direction perpendicular to a facing surface is divided into a plurality of regions in a row direction or a column direction within a plane that is parallel to the facing surface. Both ends of each of the plurality of regions are fixed to the facing surface by a pin 122, and thereby the lens substrate 120 and the ferrule 110 are connected to each other.
