Abstract: An optical fiber includes: a core portion made of glass; a side core layer made of glass and enclosing the core portion; a cladding portion made of glass and enclosing the side core layer; and a coating layer including a primary layer made of resin and enclosing the cladding portion, and a secondary layer made of resin and enclosing the primary layer. The relationships Δ1>ΔClad>Δ2 and 0>Δ2 are satisfied where Δ1 represents relative refractive-index difference of average maximum refractive index of the core portion with respect to average refractive index of the cladding portion, Δ2 represents relative refractive-index difference of average refractive index of the side core layer with respect to average refractive index of the cladding portion, and ΔClad represents relative refractive-index difference of average refractive index of the cladding portion with respect to refractive index of pure silica glass.

Abstract: An optical fiber includes a core portion made of silica-based glass; and a cladding portion made of silica-based glass having lower maximum refractive index than the core portion, the cladding portion surrounding an outer periphery of the core portion. The core portion is doped with an alkali metal element and chlorine. An average concentration of chlorine is higher than 800 atomic ppm on a cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the core portion. A region doped with the alkali metal element is larger than a region doped with chlorine at 800 atomic ppm or higher.

The optical fiber includes a core (1), tubular layers (22 to 25) concentrically arranged around the core (1) via the air layer, and support members (3a to 3l) that are arranged to the air layer and connect the core (1) with the tubular layers (22 to 25), and in the optical fiber, in a cross-sectional view of a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber, a distance between support members (3a to 3l) in a circumferential direction of the optical fiber is wider than a double thickness of the air layer in which the support members (3a to 3l) are arranged.
