Abstract
An optical connector includes: a ferrule in which an optical fiber is inserted and which has a connection end surface from which the optical fiber is exposed; and a waveguide member. The waveguide member has an incidence surface, a waveguide part which guides light incident from the incidence surface toward the side opposite to the connection end surface, and a scattering part which scatters the light guided by the waveguide part.
