摘要:
A tellurite glass as a glass material of optical fiber and optical waveguide has a composition of 0 2 O 3 ≤ 20 (mole %), 0 ≤ Na 2 O ≤ 35 (mole %), 0 ≤ ZnO ≤ 35 (mole %), and 55 ≤ TeO 2 ≤ 90 (mole %). The tellurite glass allows an optical amplifier and a laser device that have broadband and low-noise characteristics. In a splicing structure of non silica-based optical fiber (as a first fiber) (301) and a silica-based optical fiber (as a second fiber) (302), optical axes (301a, 302a) of the first and second optical fibers (301, 302) are held at different angles θ 1 and θ 2 (θ 1 ≠ θ 2 ) respectively from a vertical axis of a boundary surface between their spliced ends, and a relationship between the angles θ 1 and θ 2 satisfies Snell's law represented by an equation of sin θ 1 / sin θ 2 = n 2 / n 1 (where n 1 is a refractive index of the first optical fiber and n 2 is a refractive index of the second optical fiber) at the time of splicing the first and second optical fibers (301, 302).
