MCT2E is a phototransistor Optocoupler, as the name “phototransistor” suggests it has a transistor which is controlled based on light (photon). So this IC basically has an IR (infrared) LED and a photo-transistor inside it. When the IR led is powered the light from it falls on the transistor and it conducts.
