Abstract
An optical processing structure of an optical fiber, includes: an optical fiber that includes a core, a cladding, and a coating, the coating being partially removed; and a thermally conductive protective material made of a silicone-based thermally conductive compound and provided around the cladding in a coating removed region of the optical fiber. Further, the thermally conductive protective material contains a filler having a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the cladding, and the filler is present in a region where evanescent light seeping out of the cladding is present when cladding mode light propagating in the cladding is totally reflected.
