OPTICAL RECEPTACLE
First Claim
1. An optical receptacle comprising:
- a fiber stub includingan optical fiber including a clad and a core for optical conduction,a ferrule having a through-hole through which the optical fiber is fixed, andan elastic member filling the through-hole of the ferrule along with the optical fiber;
a sleeve holding a portion of the fiber stub;
a holder holding a portion of the fiber stub on an opposite side to a side that is held by the sleeve; and
an accommodation unit provided at a position at which the accommodation unit accommodates at least a portion of the fiber stub and the sleeve,an end surface of the fiber stub being formed as a convex spherical surface inclined with a specific angle with respect to a plane that is orthogonal to a center axis of the optical fiber, the end surface being optically connected to a plug ferrule to be inserted into the sleeve, the holder being provided with a positioning unit controlling an inclined direction of the end surface of the fiber stub.
