An optical connector include an optical connector ferrule (3) capable of fixing optical fibers (4), optical fibers fixed on the optical connector ferrule the end surface of which is projected from an end surface of the optical connector ferrule, an adhesive (31) for fixing the optical fibers on the optical connector ferrule, and a low Young's Modulus member (26), whose Young'a Modulus is smaller than that of the optical fiber, is provided on the end surface of the optical connector ferrule at least around the projected portions of the optical fibers. When the end surface of the optical connector is polished, even if the end surface portion contains a filler the hardness of which is smaller than that of the optical fiber, the top end of the optical fiber is capable of projecting from the end surface of the optical connector ferrule. <IMAGE> |
