    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a multi-core optical fiber that can expand its transmission wavelength band, and extend its transmission distance by reducing crosstalk, and also provide a method for designing the multi-core optical fiber. A multi-core optical fiber according to the present invention includes: four cores that are arranged in a square lattice pattern in a longitudinal direction; and a cladding region that is formed around the outer peripheral portions of the cores and has a lower refractive index than the cores, the absolute value of the relative refractive index difference between the cores and the cladding region being represented by Δ. In the multi-core optical fiber, the diameter of the cladding region is 125 ± 1 µm, the cutoff wavelength is 1.45 µm or shorter, the mode field diameter MFD at a wavelength of 1.55 µm is 9.5 to 10.0 µm, the bending loss at a wavelength of 1.625 µm and with a bending radius of 30 mm is 0.1 dB/100 turns or smaller, and the inter-core crosstalk at the wavelength of 1.625 µm is -47 dB/km or smaller.

    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.

    Abstract: A photonic crystal fiber according to the present invention has a plurality of holes arranged in the optical fiber along a longitudinal direction, in which the holes are arranged such that, in a cross section, a hole ratio which is an area of the holes per unit area is larger in a central side than in an outer side in a portion corresponding to a cladding and that a wide core area can be obtained while the number of modes that can be propagated is limited to several. Moreover, in a high-power optical transmission system according to the present invention, the amount of axis misalignment between the central axis of a laser oscillator and the central axis of the photonic crystal fiber is less than or equal to a certain amount.
