An optical connector includes an optical
waveguide device with a first optical port and a fastening structure. The optical
waveguide device is able to implement splitting, combining, demultiplexing,
multiplexing, multi core-
single core conversion, filtering, reflection, spot size conversion,
optical path connection / disconnection,
optical path direction conversion, or
optical power adjustment. The fastening structure is configured to fasten an optical
transmission medium. The first optical port is aligned with and connected to the optical
transmission medium in the fastening structure. In this application, the optical connector combines functions such as splitting, combining, demultiplexing,
multiplexing, multi core-
single core conversion, filtering, reflection, spot size conversion,
optical path connection / disconnection, optical path direction conversion, or
optical power adjustment with a connector function without changing a size of an existing connector, to reduce a size of an
optical module and reduce a board area occupied by the
optical module.
