Abstract
A plastic wavelength shifting fiber includes a core containing a fluorescent agent having a peak of a fluorescence spectrum in a wavelength range of 450 to 550 nm, and a cladding covering an outer peripheral surface of the core and has a refractive index lower than that of the core. A sum of the number of carbon and oxygen atoms of the fluorescent agent is 10 to 25, and a quantum yield QE of the fluorescent agent and an overlap parameter OL thereof defined by Formula (2) satisfy Formula (1):×(1−)<0.07 Formula (1) here, Abs(300+2×i) is a relative intensity of an absorption spectrum normalized so that its peak intensity becomes 1; Flu(300+2×i) is a relative intensity of a fluorescence spectrum normalized so that its peak intensity becomes 1; and i is a variable that increases from 0 to 200 by 2 at a time.
