摘要:
A multicore fiber includes cores located at vertexes of a polygonal ring and a cladding including sub medium regions and covering the cores. A refractive index of the cladding is lower than a refractive index of the cores and higher than a refractive index of the sub medium regions. The sub medium regions are arranged at positions to reduce a crosstalk between adjacent cores of the cores.

An optical fiber that permits, even when the cladding outer diameter thereof is smaller than 125 μm, an eased splicing with other optical fiber using a general-purpose ferrule, is provided. The optical fiber comprises: a first optical fiber having a first core and a first cladding having a cladding outer diameter smaller than 125 μm, wherein the first cladding has a plurality of air holes that extend longitudinally along the axis of the first core; a second optical fiber having a second core to be spliced to the first core, and a second cladding having a cladding outer diameter larger than the outer diameter of the first cladding, wherein the second cladding is to be spliced to the first cladding; and a fusion splice formed between the end of the first optical fiber and the end of the second optical fiber by fusion.
摘要:
An optical fiber that has no bubbles in the ultraviolet ray curable resin filled inside the air holes to seal the end parts thereof, an end part processing method of the optical fiber, and an end part processing apparatus of the optical fiber, are provided. In an end part processing method of an optical fiber that is comprised of a core and a cladding formed around the core, the cladding having a refraction index lower than that of the core and has a plurality of air holes formed therein along the axis of the core, wherein the end part process of the optical fiber is to form sealed portions on the ends of the air holes by sealing them with ultraviolet ray curable resin, the method is characterized in that the sealed portion is formed by heating the end of the optical fiber.
