Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an ultraviolet light irradiation system and a decontamination method that can perform decontamination economically without any input from a user.
The ultraviolet light irradiation system forms a linear or planar ultraviolet light irradiation space by spatially bundling a plurality of ultraviolet light beams with high energy density or moving the ultraviolet light with high energy density at high speed. The ultraviolet light irradiation system can decontaminate a human body and clothing simply by passing through the space. Further, since the ultraviolet light irradiation system performs decontamination in the space, bacteria and viruses emitted from a carrier are not passed through the space.-

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide an optical fiber testing method and an optical fiber testing device capable of measuring the delay ratio between the modes at each position of a fiber over a long distance in which a plurality of modes propagate.
An optical fiber testing method and its device according to the present invention, measure the change amount for the wave number k of a Brillouin Frequency Shift ν in stimulated Brillouin scattering generated in the same acoustic mode, with respect to each target propagation mode. Thereby, the ratio of the change amount measured at each propagation mode is acquired as the group delay ratio between the modes.-

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner unit that can fully demonstrate the sterilization effect on air with a large flow rate, even by a method of irradiating a filter and a coil with ultraviolet light. The air conditioner unit according to the present invention includes a filter 20 through which air passes, a plurality of optical fibers 16 arranged in such a manner that one ends thereof are close to a surface of the filter 20 and arranged at predetermined intervals, and a light source 30 that supplies ultraviolet light from the other end of each of the optical fibers 16. Since the intensity of the light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source, if the same sterilization effect is to be obtained, the shorter the irradiation distance, the smaller the irradiation intensity of the ultraviolet light can be. That is, by bringing the tips of the optical fibers close to the surface of the filter, the filter can be sterilized by an LED having a small output.

Abstract: The optical fiber according to the present invention includes, in a cross section of the optical fiber, one core region (11) and a cladding region (12) that is arranged on an outer periphery of the core region. The cladding region is a medium that has a lower refractive index than that of the core region and also has a smaller refractive index wavelength dispersion than that of the core region. The optical fiber has a solid core and therefore, allows more reduction in the Rayleigh scattering loss compared to an optical fiber having a hollow core. In addition, since the optical fiber adopts, for the cladding region, a medium that has a smaller refractive index wavelength dispersion than that of the core region, it allows a reduction in the wavelength dispersion of neff.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber evaluation equipment and an optical fiber evaluation method that evaluate the center of a cladding of an MCF and a deviation of the center of each core of the MCF from a design value with ease and high accuracy.
The optical fiber evaluation equipment according to the present invention approximates the outside diameter of a cladding by a circle, based on a cross-sectional image of an MCF, and determines the center of the circle as the center of the cladding. In addition, the optical fiber evaluation equipment according to the present invention obtains the center coordinates of cores with an origin at the center of the circle, rotates the cross-sectional image so as to minimize a difference between the center coordinates and design coordinates of each core, and derives the minimum value thereof as the amount of deviation of the center of each core.-
