Abstract
The present invention has an object to provide a mode field diameter measurement method enabling easily measuring a mode field diameter in an optical fiber, which is capable of propagating a fundamental mode (LP01 mode) and a first higher order mode (LP11 mode), without using a mode multiplexer, and a measurement device of the mode field diameter measurement method. In a mode field diameter measurement method according to the present invention, an intensity ratio between an LP01 mode and an LP11 mode output from an optical fiber to be tested is changed, a mode field diameter is measured by a variable aperture (VA) method for each intensity ratio, and each mode field diameter is calculated.
