Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a core position recognition method, a connection method, and a connection apparatus that can simplify connection operations, and reduce rotational displacement and positional displacement. The connection apparatus according to the present invention includes a function capable of acquiring the rotation amount of an MCF during the bonding/fixing step. Specifically, the connection apparatus of the present invention uses an MCF with lines drawn on a side surface thereof, thereby recognizing the rotation amount of the MCF from the side surface, and calculating the absolute positions of the cores. The connection apparatus according to the present invention can recognize the absolute position s of the cores from a side image of an MCF in a state in which the MCF has been rotated. By forming a waveguide on a glass substrate serving as a connection destination so as to match the absolute positions of the cores, the rotational and positional displacements of the MCF can be eliminated, thus making it possible to reduce the connection loss.

Abstract: Provided is a differential modal attenuation compensation fiber that has a simple structure and can reduce MDL while eliminating the need for precise alignment work, an optical amplifier, and a transmission line design method. The differential modal attenuation compensation fiber according to the present invention, imparts excess loss to a desired propagation mode by forming a cavity portion or a ring-shaped high refractive index portion in a core of an optical fiber. By forming the cavity portion or the ring-shaped high refractive index portion in a part of the profile of the core, electric field distribution of a particular mode propagating through the fiber can be controlled, and different losses can be imparted to different propagation modes at an interface between the cavity portion or the ring-shaped high refractive index portion and a region not including the cavity portion or the ring-shaped high refractive index portion.

Abstract: Provided are an LPFG and an optical transmission system in which a mode conversion amount does not depend on a polarization state and an electric field distribution. The LPFG according to the present invention includes cavity rows (25-1 and 25-2) of cavities 15 periodically arranged in a core region 11 of the few-mode fiber 10 at a position away from a central axis z of the core region 11 in parallel with the central axis z. Each of the cavity rows (25-1 and 25-2) is located at a different position in a longitudinal direction of the few-mode fiber 10 (where the position in a z direction is different), and the cavity rows (25-1 and 25-2) are located at positions shifted by 90° on a cross section of the core region 11 with the center of the cross section of the core region 11 (the intersection of an x-axis and a y-axis) as an origin.
