Optical connector

Abstract

An optical connector includes a substrate, plural optical channels for transmitting an optical signal, a light source, an oblique structure, and a photo detector. The light source is located on the substrate to emit a first optical signal. The oblique structure has an optical reflective surface to reflect the first optical signal emitted by the light source to at least one of the optical channels. The photo detector is located on the substrate to receive a second optical signal emitted by at least one of the optical channels. The optical reflective surface has at least one gap, such that the optical reflective surface is divided into at least two segments by the gap, and the segments are not electrically connected with each other.
