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 exponentially increasing transmission capacity. A fan-out which allows each core of an MCF to be connected to individual single core fibers is indispensable for practical use. A bundle fiber fan-out that is suitable for MCF with hexagonally-arranged cores has been developed, and physical-contact conditions between an MCF and a fan-out with SC connector housing have been clarified. A lens coupling fan-out has been developed as well, so as to be applicable to MCFs with non-hexagonally-arranged cores. In this paper, we present the structures and characteristics of two kinds of fan-outs.
