It is an object to provide a manufacturing method of a multicore fiber preform that improves the positioning accuracy of cores, reduces the degree of core being non-circular shape, and improves the flexibility in designing. In the manufacturing method of a multicore fiber preform, n pieces of first core rods in a cylindrical shape with a radius r1, a second core rod in a cylindrical shape with a radius R1, and a cladding in a cylindrical shape are prepared, points P11 to P1n are set at positions, distances of which are X11 to X1n, respectively, from a point a1 on straight lines dividing an end surface into n pieces to have an equal central angle, about the point a1 on the end surface of the cladding such that X1max-r1

An optical fiber module includes a polarization-maintaining highly-nonlinear optical fiber and a housing. The polarization-maintaining highly-nonlinear optical fiber includes a core, a cladding surrounding the core and having two stress applying portions formed to sandwich the core and extend along the core, and a coating covering the cladding. The housing houses the polarization-maintaining highly-nonlinear optical fiber which is wound in a ring coil shape. The polarization-maintaining highly-nonlinear optical fiber has a bending loss of 0.01 dB/turn or less at a wavelength of 1550 nm when bent to form a diameter of 20 mm, a nonlinear coefficient γ of 10 W -1 km - 1 or larger at the wavelength of 1550 nm, a cutoff wavelength λc of 1530 nm or shorter, and a zero-dispersion wavelength of not shorter than 1400 nm and not longer than 1650 nm.

A nonlinear optical fiber includes a core including a center core region, a core layer that is formed around the center core region and that has a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the center core layer, and at least one buffer core layer that is formed between the center core region and the core layer and that has a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the center core region and higher than the refractive index of the core layer; and a cladding that is formed around the core layer and that has a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the center core region and higher than the refractive index of the core layer. An effective core area at a wavelength of 1550 nm is equal to or smaller than 18 µm 2 . With this configuration, there is provided a nonlinear optical fiber having stable wavelength dispersion characteristics in the longitudinal direction even with a high optical nonlinearity so that a nonlinear optical phenomenon can be used with high efficiency, a nonlinear optical device employing the nonlinear optical fiber, and an optical signal processing apparatus employing the nonlinear optical fiber.
