Abstract
An optical path conversion device according to an embodiment of the present technology is disposed between a plurality of optical devices that are arranged in one line or in a zigzag manner and a plurality of optical fibers that are arranged in one line or in a zigzag manner with an arrangement pitch different from an arrangement pitch of the plurality of optical devices. The optical path conversion device includes a light refractive surface for pitch conversion.

An optical interface apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of optical devices in one of a line pattern or a zigzag pattern;
- an optical path conversion device that includes a first light refractive surface inclined to an arrangement direction of the plurality of optical devices;
- and
- a housing that includes an insertion port into which a front end of an optical fiber array is inserted, wherein
- the plurality of optical devices and the optical path conversion device are included in the housing, and
- the first light refractive surface obliquely faces the insertion port.
