摘要:
An optical fiber is fabricated with a refractive index profile having a central core; a middle part provided around the outer periphery of the central core and having a lower refractive index than that of the central core; and a cladding provided around the periphery of the middle part and having a higher refractive index than the middle part and a lower refractive index than the central core. This optical fiber has an effective core area of 120 μm2 or more in an employed wavelength band selected from the range of 1.53˜1.63 μm, and has a cut-off wavelength that is capable of substantially single mode propagation in the aforementioned employed wavelength band. As a result, it is possible to construct an optical transmission system having excellent transmission characteristics in which nonlinearity is decreased.

The polarization-maintaining optical fiber 10 of the present invention is designed so that a plurality of core portions 12a,12b which have a high refractive index is provided in parallel along a single diameter direction in the cross section of the optical fiber, these core portions 12a,12b cooperating to propagate a single fundamental mode. In the production method for the polarization-maintaining optical fiber of the present invention, a plurality of holes 22 are formed longitudinally in parallel along a single diameter direction of a glass rod 21 having a low refractive index which forms the cladding, glass rods 23 for core use having a high refractive index which form the core portions are inserted into these holes 22, heating to form a unitary body is carried out, creating a preform which is then drawn. Further, the rare-earth-doped polarization-maintaining optical fiber of the present invention uses a rare earth element to dope the optical waveguide portion of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber, and can be employed in a light amplifier or laser oscillator. Moreover, the polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler of the present invention is formed by bringing two or more polarization maintaining optical fibers into contact, heating, fusing and elongating them, and heating the vicinity of the connection point before and after connection.
