ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical component including an optical fiber with a lens constituted by a single-mode optical fiber and a graded index optical fiber and a method of manufacturing the same. The invention provides an optical component in which an optical fiber with a lens can be accurately mounted on a substrate and which has high performance and highly stable manufacturability.An optical component has three V-shaped grooves for disposing optical fibers. An optical fiber with a lens is disposed in each of the V-shaped grooves. The optical component has a positioning mark using for positioning optical fiber connecting surfaces. The positioning mark extending across the V-shaped grooves in an orthogonal relationship therewith is provided. The positioning mark is formed line a concave groove and is visually perceived as two parallel straight lines when viewed in a direction normal to the surface on which the V-shaped grooves are formed. The optical fiber connecting surfaces are positioned between the two parallel straight lines.
