    摘要: An optical fiber preform 2 having a viscosity ratio R&eegr;=&eegr;0/&eegr;t of 2.5 or less between the core average viscosity &eegr;0 and the total average viscosity &eegr;t is prepared, and is drawn by a drawing furnace 11 so as to yield an optical fiber 3, which is then heated to a temperature within a predetermined range so as to be annealed by a heating furnace 21 disposed downstream the drawing furnace 11. Here, upon annealing in the heating furnace 21, the fictive temperature Tf within the optical fiber lowers, thereby reducing the Rayleigh scattering loss. At the same time, the viscosity ratio condition of R&eegr;≦2.5 restrains the stress from being concentrated into the core, thereby lowering the occurrence of structural asymmetry loss and the like. Hence, an optical fiber which can reduce the transmission loss caused by the Rayleigh scattering loss and the like as a whole, and a method of making the same can be obtained.

    摘要: An object of this invention is to provide a mode field diameter conversion optical fiber which can be processed in a short period of time to have a reduced mode field diameter at a desired portion thereof. The optical fiber according to this invention comprises a core of silica glass having a residual tensile stress, and a cladding surrounding the core and having a lower refractive index than that of the core. The desired portion is heated to relax the residual tensile stress in the core, whereby the optical fiber has a reduced mode field diameter at the desired portion.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an OFA having a high signal gain, easily manufactured, having a high mechanical strength, having a small splice loss with respect to other optical fibers, and rarely encountering the occurrence of noise at a signal wavelength. The OFA according to the present invention has a function of amplifying signals propagating therethroug by pumping light supplied thereto, and comprises, at least, a core region, an inner cladding region provided on the periphery of the core region, an outer cladding region provided on the periphery of the inner cladding region, and one or more node coupling gratings. An element for signal amplification is added to at least the core region. The core region has a structure ensuring a core mode with respect to the signals, while the inner cladding region has a structure ensuring a multi-mode with respect to the pumping light. Each of the mode coupling gratings passes core mode signals therethrough, and induces a mode coupling between the inner cladding mode and the core mode with respect to the pumping light.
