Abstract:
A fan-in/fan-out device includes a plurality of single-core fibers which are connected to a plurality of first cores of a multicore fiber and which include an elongated portion extending in a longitudinal direction so as to reduce a diameter and being connected to a first end portion of the multicore fiber at a second end portion in an extending direction of the elongated portion, where a refractive index distribution of each of the single-core fibers has a single peak, a relative refractive index difference of a second core with respect to a second cladding in each of the single-core fibers is 0.8% or more; and a second mode field diameter of the second end portion of the elongated portion is greater than a first mode field diameter of the first end portion of the multicore fiber.
