Abstract
An optical connection component includes: an input end that separates each of light beams output from an output end surface of a multi-core fiber toward single-core fibers, and enlarges each beam diameter of the light beams; and an output end that allows the light beams from the input end to be parallel to an axial direction of the multi-core fiber. The optical connection component guides the light beams output from the output end surface, inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the axial direction, to the single-core fibers, wherein the light beams output from the output end surface propagate in a direction inclined with respect to the axial direction.
