Abstract
A multi-core amplification optical fiber includes: a plurality of core portions doped with a rare-earth element; an inner cladding portion positioned at a periphery of the plurality of core portions, having a refractive index lower than a refractive index of the plurality of core portions, in which a first hole is formed; and an outer cladding layer positioned at a periphery of the inner cladding portion, having a refractive index lower than the refractive index of the inner cladding portion.
