Abstract: There is a problem that in the connection portion between a rare-earth-doped double clad fiber and a single mode fiber, pumping light leaks in a portion having the coating, and the fiber generates heat partially with this energy and deteriorates. Also, there is another problem that the output is limited as the oscillation wavelength becomes shorter. Accordingly, in a laser light source device formed by combining a fiber laser and a fiber amplifier, by using the residual pumping light in the fiber laser as the pumping light in the fiber amplifier, it is possible to enhance the reliability by preventing the fiber deterioration caused by the residual pumping light. Further, by amplifying the output in the fiber amplifier in the latter stage without any limitation on the pumping light output, it is possible to increase an output of the oscillation light.

Since the connecting sheets have through holes thorough which the fasteners pass and connecting sections formed so as to be easy to bend or difficult to bend in the width direction, the connected fastener assembly can be formed into a straight type or a coil type. In a connected fastener assembly, shaft sections of a plurality of fasteners are connected by a connecting band formed of a thin sheet of a synthetic resin. Ring-shaped retaining sections for retaining the shaft sections are formed at constant intervals in the connecting bands. The ring-shaped retaining sections are disposed so as to be overlaid on shaft guides made of soft materials and fitted on the shaft sections. Each of the shaft guides is formed into a cylindrical shape.
