摘要：Employed as a structure of a highly nonlinear optical fiber (nonlinear opticalfiber) is a double-cladding structure in which a first cladding region and a second claddingregion are disposed on the outer periphery of a core region Since the double-claddingstructure is employed, the cutoff wavelength &lgr;can sufficiently be shortened evenwhen, in order to increase the nonlinear coefficient &ggr;, the concentration of

GeOadded into the core is enhanced so as to raise the nonlinear refractive index, or therelative refractive index difference between the core and cladding is increased so as toreduce the effective area A. This realizes an optical fiber or nonlinear optical fibershortening its cutoff wavelength while having a sufficient nonlinearity, an optical amplifierand wavelength converter using the same, and a method of making an optical fiber.
