Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an evaluation method and an evaluation device for easily determining whether or not a structural parameter of a multi-core fiber satisfies a desired connection loss value (a specification). The evaluation method according to the present invention includes a step of measuring center coordinates of each core with the center coordinates when a clad is approximated by a circle as an origin in an observed cross-sectional structure of the multi-core fiber to be objected, obtaining a length of a line segment connecting the origin and the center of each core and an angle formed by two line segments connecting the origin and two adjacent cores, and judging whether or not a desired connection loss characteristic is satisfied on the basis of whether or not the values satisfy a predetermined determination formula.
