Patent attributes
A ferrule includes: a main body configured to hold an end of a first optical fiber and an end of a second optical fiber parallel to the first optical fiber; and a lens plate including a first abutment surface configured to abut against an end face of the first optical fiber, a second abutment surface configured to abut against an end face of the second optical fiber, a first lens configured to face the end face of the first optical fiber, and a second lens configured to face the end face of the second optical fiber. The first abutment surface is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to a first optical axis of the first optical fiber. The second abutment surface is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to a second optical axis of the second optical fiber.
