    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.
