ABSTRACT:
An optical connector including first and second optical fibers which each has a slanted end face. The optical connector provides a connection state where the end face of the first optical fiber is aligned with, and in close contact with, the end face of the second optical fiber so that light travelling through the first optical fiber travels into the second optical fiber. Moreover, the optical connector provides a disconnection state where a gap exists between the end face of the first optical fiber and the end face of the second optical fiber. The end face of the first optical fiber causes light travelling through the first optical fiber to be totally reflected at the end face of the first optical fiber when in the disconnection state.
