Abstract:

The coupling loss of optical power on a reception side due to an axis deviation on a transmission side is satisfactorily mitigated. A connector body including a first lens and a second lens is provided. The first lens converges light emitted from a light-emitting body. The second lens shapes and emits the light converged by the first lens. For example, the second lens shapes light emitted from the first lens into collimated light. The focal distance of the second lens can be increased while increase in the distance from the light-emitting body to the second lens is inhibited and the diameter of light from the light-emitting body is restricted so as to be within the diameter of the second lens. The coupling loss of optical power on the reception side due to the axis deviation on the transmission side can be mitigated.
