    摘要: The present invention relates to an OFA having a high signal gain, easily manufactured, having a high mechanical strength, having a small splice loss with respect to other optical fibers, and rarely encountering the occurrence of noise at a signal wavelength. The OFA according to the present invention has a function of amplifying signals propagating therethroug by pumping light supplied thereto, and comprises, at least, a core region, an inner cladding region provided on the periphery of the core region, an outer cladding region provided on the periphery of the inner cladding region, and one or more node coupling gratings. An element for signal amplification is added to at least the core region. The core region has a structure ensuring a core mode with respect to the signals, while the inner cladding region has a structure ensuring a multi-mode with respect to the pumping light. Each of the mode coupling gratings passes core mode signals therethrough, and induces a mode coupling between the inner cladding mode and the core mode with respect to the pumping light.

    摘要: An optical fiber splicing method capable of fully reducing the splice loss at room temperature is provided. In the optical fiber splicing method in accordance with the present invention, respective end faces of optical fibers are fused together in a splicing step (S101). In a condition setting step (S102), a set value &agr;0 is set. Thereafter, a heating step (S103), a measuring step (S104), and a termination determining step (S105) are carried out repeatedly. In the heating step, a region including the fusion-spliced point is heated under a predetermined heating condition. In the measuring step, splice loss is measured. In the termination determining step, the splice loss &agr;n measured in the measuring step and the set value &agr;0 set in the condition setting step are compared with each other in terms of magnitude. If the splice loss &agr;n is not greater than the set value &agr;0, then it is determined that the alternation should be terminated, whereby the optical fiber connecting operation is terminated.
