| Abstract(in English) | It is possible to realize index-guiding optical fibers by forming small air holes in the fiber cladding instead of doping its core with high-index materials. These fibers are called index-guiding type photonic crystal fibers. The fibers have very interesting new features including endlessly single-mode operation, zero GVD in the visible region, and easy control of the spot-size because of the strongly guiding characteristics that result from the very high relative refractive index between the core and cladding with air holes. In this study, we describe splicing characteristics between photonic crystal fibers and conventional fibers. A large Fresnel reflection is observed at the splicing point, which causes serious problems when utilizing photonic crystal fibers in conventional optical communications. A reduction method of the Fresnel reflection is also presented. |
