Abstract

See full text

Provided is an inexpensive low-loss optical fiber suitably used in an optical transmission network. An optical fiber includes a core, an optical cladding, and a jacket. The core has a relative refractive index difference between 0.2% and 0.32% and has a refractive index volume between 9%·μm2 and 18%·μm2. The jacket has a relative refractive index difference between 0.03% and 0.20%. Glass constituting the core has a fictive temperature between 1400° C. and 1560° C. Stress remaining in the core is compressive stress. A cutoff wavelength measured on a fiber having a length of 2 m is 1300 nm or more and a cutoff wavelength measured on a fiber having a length of 100 m is 1500 nm or less. An effective area at a wavelength of 1550 nm is 110 μm2 or more. A attenuation at a wavelength of 1550 nm is 0.19 dB/km or less.
