Optical fiber plug for an
optical fiber connector for optically connecting a number N of first optical fibers to a number M of second optical fibers, wherein the
optical fiber plug (1, 1', 101, 101') holds an end section (3) of each first
optical fiber (4) with an optical
fiber end face (5) and has a number N of lenses (6, 6'), each having an entrance surface (11) facing one of the first optical fibers and an
exit surface (12) facing away from this first optical
fiber, wherein each lens (6, 6') is assigned to exactly one first optical
fiber and each optical fiber is assigned to exactly one lens (6, 6'), and the lenses (6, 6') are designed and arranged such that a beam emerging from one of the first optical fibers in a propagation direction is incident on the entrance surface (11) of the assigned lens (6,6') and is projected as a
convergent beam onto the
exit surface (12) of the associated lens (6, 6'), wherein at least one lens (6, 6') and preferably each lens is designed as a 2-section lens (6, 6') and has at least two sections, namely a first section (123, 223), which is delimited by the entrance surface (11), and a second section (124, 224), which is delimited by the
exit surface (12), wherein the
refractive index n, 1 of the first section (123, 223) differs from the
refractive index n 2 of the second section (124, 224).
