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.

摘要:
An optical waveguide grating with radiative mode-coupling properties, with exceptional stability and reliability as an optical component, wherein the central wavelength of the rejection band has a low temperature dependence, due to the use of silica glass doped with germanium and boron for the core. The rejection bandwidth can be narrowed without increasing the grating length by forming the radiative mode-coupled optical waveguide grating in an optical waveguide wherein the mean relative refractive index difference of the core is greater than that of optical communication waveguides. The rejection can be increased by reducing the occurrence of cases wherein propagation modes of the core coupled to cladding modes once again couple to the core in palnar optical waveguide gratings formed by making periodic changes in the waveguide structure along the direction of propagation of light in an optical waveguide having a cladding with a lower refractive index than the core surrounding the core, by making the thickness of the cladding at least thirteen times the thickness of the core.
