Abstract

See full text

Provided is a downsized connector for a multicore fiber and a plurality of single-mode fibers which can simplify the core alignment process between the fibers. The optical fiber connector includes a mount substrate, a multicore fiber including a plurality of cores arrayed in the same plane, a first sub-substrate configured to fix an end part of the multicore fiber, and to be bonded on the mount substrate, a plurality of single-mode fibers including at least the same number of fibers as the plurality of cores of the multicore fiber, and a second sub-substrate configured to fix end parts of the plurality of single-mode fibers, and to be bonded on the mount substrate. A relative position between the first sub-substrate and the second sub-substrate is determined, so that the plurality of cores of the multicore fiber and the plurality of single-mode fibers of the same number as the plurality of cores are optically coupled, respectively.
