摘要: An objective is to provide an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement method and an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement device capable of measuring a propagation speed of an acoustic mode without cutting or processing an optical fiber wire.
According to the present invention, an acoustic mode propagation speed measurement method includes: acquiring a frequency shift spectrum of Brillouin scattered light generated in an optical fiber; fitting the frequency shift spectrum using a Gauss function; acquiring a spectral full-width at half maximum w from a fitted curve using the Gauss function; and calculating a propagation speed VA of an acoustic mode of the optical fiber by substituting the acquired spectral full-width at half maximum w into a linear function of the spectral full-width at half maximum w and the propagation speed VA of the acoustic mode.-

摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide an HAF having a structure in which the number of air holes is decreased to be smaller than that of a PCF and Rayleigh scattering loss may be more reduced than that in the existing HAF. The HAF according to the present invention includes a core portion having a uniform optical refractive index; a cladding portion having a uniform optical refractive index and surrounding the core portion; and a plurality of air holes arranged in two layers at positions configuring hexagonal closest packing excluding the core portion within the cladding portion along a longitudinal direction of the hole-assisted fiber, wherein a center-to-center spacing of the air holes is a sum of a radius Rin of an inscribed circle inscribed in the air holes in an inner layer and a radius d/2 of the air hole, and a radius “a” of the core portion and a relative refractive index difference Δ between the core portion and the cladding portion are present within a range where Rn, which is a ratio of a Rayleigh scattering coefficient Rsmf of a single mode optical fiber and an effective Rayleigh scattering coefficient Reff of the hole-assisted fiber, is equal to or less than 0.92.

摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a structure of an optical fiber capable of satisfying desired requirements of an output power, a propagation distance, and a beam quality. In the design of the PCF of the present invention, the PCF has air holes having diameters d and intervals Λ in an overlapping region where a region of Aeff of a desired value or more and a cutoff region in a desired higher-order mode overlap each other on a graph where the horizontal axis represents d/Λ and the vertical axis represents Λ, so that it is possible to sufficiently cut off the mode which is the desired higher-order mode or more, and thus, it is possible to select a region where the Aeff is large.

摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-core optical fiber that can prevent an increase in bending loss even when a distance between a peripheral core and a cladding boundary is decreased, and can improve a bending loss characteristic in a state where an influence on a cutoff wavelength and a mode field diameter is small, and a design method thereof.
The multi-core optical fiber according to the present invention is an optical fiber in which two or more core regions are arranged in a cladding region having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the core at a minimum core interval, a ring-shaped low refractive index region surrounding the core and having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the cladding region is provided, a bending loss after the provision of the ring-shaped low refractive index region is reduced as compared with a characteristic in a case where the ring-shaped low refractive index region is not provided, and at the same time, a change in mode field diameter after the provision of the ring-shaped low refractive index region is not changed as compared with a characteristic in a case where the ring-shaped low refractive index region is not provided.-
