The present invention provides an optical fiber of a high nonlinear characteristic which has low dispersion values in a wide wavelength region in the vicinity of a wavelength of 1550 nm. An excellent optical signal processing apparatus is realized by using this optical fiber, such as an optical wavelength converter and a pulse compressor. The optical fiber has characteristics; a dispersion slope at the wavelength of 1550 nm of −0.01 to 0.01 ps/nm2/km, an absolute value of dispersion at the wavelength of 1550 nm of 10 ps/nm/km or less, and a nonlinear constant at the wavelength of 1550 nm of 30×10−10/W or more. A polarization retaining maintaining members are uniquely applied.

A total cross-sectional area of the holes in the first cladding region with respect to a total cross-sectional area of the core region, the first cladding region, and the second cladding region is equal to or smaller than 20%. A waveguide is formed using the optical fiber.

摘要:
A silica material having a higher purity than a cylindrical preform formed of a silica material is deposited on at least one of an inner side and an outer side of the preform to fabricate a cylindrical intermediate member. A part of the cylindrical intermediate member including at least a part of the preform is removed to fabricate a high-purity silica tube. A plurality of the high-purity silica tubes is bundled with a core rod arranged at a center axis of a bundle of the high-purity silica tubes, and the bundle of the high-purity silica tubes with the core rod arranged at the center axis is drawn to obtain a microstructured optical fiber.

摘要:
A polarization-maintaining optical fiber includes a core region and a cladding region formed around the core region. The cladding region has a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the core region. A refractive index profile of the core region is either one of a step shaped or a concave shaped. The cladding region includes two holes formed in such a manner that a shortest distance from the core region is virtually zero at locations in opposite to each other across the core region.
