    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner unit that can fully demonstrate the sterilization effect on air with a large flow rate, even by a method of irradiating a filter and a coil with ultraviolet light. The air conditioner unit according to the present invention includes a filter 20 through which air passes, a plurality of optical fibers 16 arranged in such a manner that one ends thereof are close to a surface of the filter 20 and arranged at predetermined intervals, and a light source 30 that supplies ultraviolet light from the other end of each of the optical fibers 16. Since the intensity of the light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source, if the same sterilization effect is to be obtained, the shorter the irradiation distance, the smaller the irradiation intensity of the ultraviolet light can be. That is, by bringing the tips of the optical fibers close to the surface of the filter, the filter can be sterilized by an LED having a small output.

    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a multi-core optical fiber that can expand its transmission wavelength band, and extend its transmission distance by reducing crosstalk, and also provide a method for designing the multi-core optical fiber. A multi-core optical fiber according to the present invention includes: four cores that are arranged in a square lattice pattern in a longitudinal direction; and a cladding region that is formed around the outer peripheral portions of the cores and has a lower refractive index than the cores, the absolute value of the relative refractive index difference between the cores and the cladding region being represented by Δ. In the multi-core optical fiber, the diameter of the cladding region is 125 ± 1 µm, the cutoff wavelength is 1.45 µm or shorter, the mode field diameter MFD at a wavelength of 1.55 µm is 9.5 to 10.0 µm, the bending loss at a wavelength of 1.625 µm and with a bending radius of 30 mm is 0.1 dB/100 turns or smaller, and the inter-core crosstalk at the wavelength of 1.625 µm is -47 dB/km or smaller.

    Abstract: The optical fiber according to the present invention includes, in a cross section of the optical fiber, one core region (11) and a cladding region (12) that is arranged on an outer periphery of the core region. The cladding region is a medium that has a lower refractive index than that of the core region and also has a smaller refractive index wavelength dispersion than that of the core region. The optical fiber has a solid core and therefore, allows more reduction in the Rayleigh scattering loss compared to an optical fiber having a hollow core. In addition, since the optical fiber adopts, for the cladding region, a medium that has a smaller refractive index wavelength dispersion than that of the core region, it allows a reduction in the wavelength dispersion of neff.

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.
