Optical fiber connection component and optical fiber connection structure

An optical fiber connecting structure in which a first optical fiber connecting component serving as an optical fiber connecting component comprising:

• a glass plate having a plurality of first through holes;
• a resin ferrule fixed to the glass plate and having a plurality of second through holes that are each coaxial with corresponding one of the plurality of first through holes;
• and
• a plurality of optical fibers including a glass fiber and a resin coating that covers the glass fiber,
• wherein the glass fiber exposed from a tip of each of the optical fibers is held in corresponding one of the first through holes and corresponding one of the second through holes, and at least a portion of the resin coating covering each of the glass fibers is within each of the second through holes, and a second optical fiber connecting component fixed to the first optical connecting component and having a plurality of optical fibers in an arrangement corresponding to an arrangement of the plurality of optical fibers in the first optical fiber connecting component are connected, and wherein
• a first end face of the first optical fiber connecting component and a second end face of the second optical fiber connecting component are faces inclined with respect to an optical axis of the plurality of optical fibers, and
• a gap of 30 μm or less is formed between the first end face and the second end face.
