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 MCF to be connected to individual single core fibers is indispensable in achieving practical use. A bundle fiber fan-out under development has a feature that the splice point between the fan-out and MCF has high return loss thanks to physical-contact (PC) connection. However, if fiber end faces pull back from ferrule surfaces after temperature cycling test, PC connection may not be achieved. We made a temperature cycling test over -40 to 85 degrees C, and confirmed fiber withdrawals were small enough to keep PC connection.
