Abstract
No core is disposed at the lattice point of a triangular lattice of a first layer LY1. First cores 11a and 11b of the core elements 10a and 10b are disposed at the lattice points of a second layer LY2. A first core 11c of the core element 10c and the second core 21 are alternately disposed at the lattice points of a third layer LY3. In a fourth layer LY4, no core is disposed at six lattice points, and the first cores 11a and 11b of the core elements 10a and 10b are disposed at the other lattice points. The second cores 21 are adjacent to the lattice points of the fourth layer LY4, at which no core is disposed. The effective refractive indexes of the core elements adjacent to each other are different from each other.
