摘要 |
The invention provides an optical connector for coupling first and second optical fibers. Each of the optical fibers includes external and internal optical paths. The optical connector includes a holder and a light guide. The holder securely receives a distal end of the first optical fiber from a direction and a distal end of the second optical fiber from the opposite direction. The light guide has translucency and is interposed at least one of (i) between end faces of the internal optical paths of the first and the second optical fibers and (ii) between end faces of the external optical paths of the first and the second optical fibers, such that the end faces of the internal optical paths of the first and the second fibers are displaced in a light axis direction from the end faces of the external optical paths of the first and the second optical fibers.
