In order to enable coupling two multi-mode optical fibers with relatively
high efficiencies while increasing the distance between lenses to be
interposed as compared with the prior arts, with a device according to
the present invention, a first condenser lens and a second condenser lens
are arranged such that they are spaced apart from each other by four
times the focal length and their optical center axes are coincident with
each other. A first (second) multi-mode optical fiber is arranged such
that it is spaced apart from the first (second) condenser lens by a
distance larger than the focal length and the center axis of light
emitted from the first (second) multi-mode optical fiber is substantially
coincident with the optical center axis of the first (second) condenser
lens.
