摘要:
A fan-in/fan-out device includes a plurality of single-core fibers which are connected to a plurality of first cores of a multicore fiber and which include an elongated portion extending in a longitudinal direction so as to reduce a diameter and being connected to a first end portion of the multicore fiber at a second end portion in an extending direction of the elongated portion, where a refractive index distribution of each of the single-core fibers has a single peak, a relative refractive index difference of a second core with respect to a second cladding in each of the single-core fibers is 0.8% or more; and a second mode field diameter of the second end portion of the elongated portion is greater than a first mode field diameter of the first end portion of the multicore fiber.

A solid photonic band gap fiber includes: a core area located at a central portion of a cross-section with respect to a longitudinal direction of the fiber, the core area being formed of a solid substance having a low refractive index; cladding areas having base portions formed of a solid substance having a low refractive index, the cladding areas surrounding the core area; and a plurality of fine high refractive index scatterers provided in the cladding areas, and disposed in a dispersed manner so as to surround the core area, the number of fine high refractive index scatterers being formed of a solid substance having a high refractive index, wherein in a state that the solid photonic band gap fiber is held at a predetermined bending radius, propagation in a high-order mode is suppressed by using a difference in a bending loss between a fundamental mode and the high-order mode, and only the fundamental mode is substantially propagated, the fundamental mode and the high-order mode being caused by bending.
摘要:
A multicore fiber including two or more cores each capable of single mode transmission, a cladding covering around the two or more cores in common, and a low refractive index portion having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the cladding, wherein a cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction includes a region where two or more cores of a part or all of the two or more cores are arranged in a circular shape and at least a part of the low refractive index portion is arranged inside an inscribed circle of the cores included in the region.
