Optical connector, optical module, and method for evaluating optical connector

Abstract

The present invention relates to provide an optical connector that is easy to evaluate if it is manufactured as designed. An optical connector according to the present invention comprises: a light transmission wall including a first surface and a second surface; and a holding part for holding an optical transmission body. The optical connector has, on the first surface, a plurality of first optical surfaces disposed along an X direction, a plurality of grooves disposed in the holding part and extending in a direction opposite to the first surface so as to go away from the second surface, and a plurality of X-direction reference marks. Each of the plurality of X-direction reference marks is disposed on a first virtual plane including a valley line of any groove of the plurality of grooves and perpendicular to the X direction.
