PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an alignment structure for an optical fiber and an optical connector using the alignment structure that, without peeling off a coating in an optical fiber with the coating attached, enable execution of accurate alignment of the optical fiber, and to provide an alignment method for an optical fiber. SOLUTION: A coating 1b in optical fibers 1 inserted into an alignment part 17 is cut and torn off by each guide blade 17b, and a tip of each guide blade 17b is made to come into contact with a bare optical fiber 1a in the optical fibers 1. Thereby, since the bare optical fiber 1a is set to be positioned in the radial direction thereof, the optical fibers 1 with the coating attached can be accurately aligned with each other and, without peeling off the coating 1b in the optical fibers 1, can be inserted, as they are, into a connector body to be assembled. Then, each guide blade 17b provided movably in the radial direction of the optical fibers 1 is energized inward in the radial direction of the optical fibers 1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
