    Abstract: An optical fiber connector includes: amplifying fibers in which an active element activated by excitation light is added to a core of each of the amplifying fibers. The amplifying fibers are connected together such that an absorption amount of excitation light per unit length increases with an increase of a distance from an incident end of the excitation light. A mode field diameter of laser light propagating through the core is same among the amplifying fibers.

    Abstract: An optical fiber includes: a center core; an inner ring layer, located outside of the center core in a radial direction, that has a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the center core; an outer core, located outside of the inner ring layer in the radial direction, that has a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the inner ring layer; and an outer ring layer, located outside of the outer core in the radial direction, that has a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the outer core. A relative refractive index difference ΔCF between the center core and the inner ring layer varies along a longitudinal direction such that the relative refractive index difference ΔCF at a location along the longitudinal direction is smaller than a relative refractive index difference ΔPF between the outer core and the outer ring layer.

    Abstract: An optical device includes a core, a first cladding, a second cladding, a slanted fiber Bragg grating, and a high refractive index material. The first cladding covers the core and has a lower refractive index than the core. The second cladding covers the first cladding and has a lower refractive index than the first cladding. The slanted fiber Bragg grating is formed in the core and couples stimulated Raman scattering light, propagating through the core, to the first cladding. The high refractive index material has a higher refractive index than the second cladding and covers an outer peripheral surface of a removal portion where the second cladding is removed and a portion of the first cladding that covers the region where the slanted fiber Bragg grating is formed in the core.
