Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A multi-core fiber (MCF) that has plurality of cores in one fiber is one of the promising candidates to cope with the exponentially increasing transmission capacity. A fan-out (FO) which allows each core of MCF to be connected to individual single core fibers is indispensable in achieving practical use. A bundle fiber FO we have developed is pluggable connector to MCF. Furthermore, fiber end face shapes and the connector mating force achieving physical-contact (PC) connection were clarified by a numerical simulation. The PC connection was also confirmed by experiments. However, the simulation results have not been closely compared with experimental results, yet. In this report, we closely compare and show validity of the simulation model.
