    Abstract: An objective is to provide an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement method and an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement device capable of measuring a propagation speed of an acoustic mode without cutting or processing an optical fiber wire.
    According to the present invention, an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement method includes: acquiring a frequency shift spectrum of Brillouin scattered light generated in an optical fiber; fitting the frequency shift spectrum using a Gauss function; acquiring a spectral full-width at half maximum w from a fitted curve using the Gauss function; and calculating a propagation speed VA of an acoustic mode of the optical fiber by substituting the acquired spectral full-width at half maximum w into a linear function of the spectral full-width at half maximum w and the propagation speed VA of the acoustic mode.

    Abstract: An object is to provide a beam propagating method capable of satisfying desired output power and a desired propagation distance and a required condition of beam quality and a method of designing an optical fiber designing the structure of an optical fiber. According to the present invention, an effective core cross-sectional area Aeff is calculated based on desired specification values and, by appropriately adjusting the structure of an optical fiber satisfying the effective core cross-sectional area and the number of modes to be propagated, the structure of the optical fiber is determined. In this way, by controlling the excitation ratio of a high-order mode at the time of coupling laser light in the optical fiber designed as above, light of high-output laser can be propagated a long distance with the beam quality maintained.

    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: 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.
