An optical component 10 has a plurality of optical fibers comprising a first core 12, a second core 14 formed around the first core 12, and a clad 16 formed around the second core 14, arrayed regularly so that the fiber axes may be parallel to each other, having an incident plane 10a cut obliquely to the fiber axis and an exit plane 10b cut vertically to the fiber axis. The refractive index n2 of the second core 14 is smaller than the refractive index n1 of the first core 12, and the refractive index nc of the clad 16 is smaller than the refractive index n2 of the second core 14, and further the refractive index n1 of the first core 12, the refractive index n2 of the second core 14, and the refractive index nc of the clad 16 satisfy the relation of n1<2>-n2<2>=n2<2>-nc<2>.
