摘要 |
The present invention relates to a multi-core optical fiber having a structure for reducing transmission loss and nonlinearity. The multi-core optical fiber comprises plural cores extending along a center axis direction, and a cladding surrounding the peripheries of the plural cores. The cladding is comprised of silica glass doped with fluorine, and each of the plural cores is comprised of silica glass doped with chlorine or pure silica glass. |
