Abstract
An image fiber has a plurality of optical fibers with normalized frequencies different from one another, which is constructed so that a plurality of cores different in size and shape from one another are distributed at random in a cladding. The optical fibers include at least two kinds of optical fibers having propagation modes different in number. Thus, the image fiber is capable of suppressing cross talk to prevent the degradation of image quality.
