    摘要: An object is to provide a beam propagating method capable of satisfying desired output power and a desired propagation distance and a required condition of beam quality and a method of designing an optical fiber designing the structure of an optical fiber. According to the present invention, an effective core cross-sectional area Aeff is calculated based on desired specification values and, by appropriately adjusting the structure of an optical fiber satisfying the effective core cross-sectional area and the number of modes to be propagated, the structure of the optical fiber is determined. In this way, by controlling the excitation ratio of a high-order mode at the time of coupling laser light in the optical fiber designed as above, light of high-output laser can be propagated a long distance with the beam quality maintained.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber evaluation equipment and an optical fiber evaluation method that evaluate the center of a cladding of an MCF and a deviation of the center of each core of the MCF from a design value with ease and high accuracy.
    The optical fiber evaluation equipment according to the present invention approximates the outside diameter of a cladding by a circle, based on a cross-sectional image of an MCF, and determines the center of the circle as the center of the cladding. In addition, the optical fiber evaluation equipment according to the present invention obtains the center coordinates of cores with an origin at the center of the circle, rotates the cross-sectional image so as to minimize a difference between the center coordinates and design coordinates of each core, and derives the minimum value thereof as the amount of deviation of the center of each core.

    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.
