There is provided an optical fiber device including two optical fibers,
rod lenses, and an optical functional element. The two rod lenses have
the same refractive index distribution and the front face of each is
respectively formed, at the approximate midpoint of a position where the
mode field diameter of the propagating light emitted from the optical
fiber and propagating through the interior of the rod lens forms a local
maximum, and a position where the mode field diameter, in case the same
rod lens is assumed to be extended in the axial direction, forms a local
minimum subsequent to the aforementioned local maximum, in the
propagation direction of the same propagating light, perpendicularly to
the axis. Also, both front faces of the two rod lenses are arranged
symmetrically with respect to a point where a beam waist is formed.
