摘要:
A single mode optical fiber of the present invention includes an inner core portion having a diameter of 2a and a refractive index n.sub.1, an outer core portion having a diameter of 2b and a refractive index n.sub.2 which is smaller than the refractive index n.sub.1 of the inner core portion, the outer core being disposed around the inner core, a clad portion disposed around the outer core portion having a refractive index n.sub.0. The single mode optical fiber satisfies relations of: 0.70%.ltoreq..DELTA.n.sub.1 .ltoreq.1.2%, 0.12.ltoreq..DELTA.n.sub.2 /.DELTA.n.sub.1 .ltoreq.0.16, and 0.15.ltoreq.2a/2b.ltoreq.0.25; 0.70%.ltoreq..DELTA.n.sub.1 .ltoreq.0.85%, 0.06.ltoreq..DELTA.n.sub.2 /.DELTA.n.sub.1 .ltoreq.0.12, and 0.20.ltoreq.2a/2b.ltoreq.0.28; or .DELTA.n.sub.1 .ltoreq.0.7%, 0.06.ltoreq..DELTA.n.sub.2 /.DELTA.n.sub.1 .ltoreq.0.16, and 0.15.ltoreq.2a/2b.ltoreq.0.3; where .DELTA.n.sub.1 =(n.sub.1.sup.2 -n.sub.0.sup.2)/n.sub.1.sup.2, and .DELTA.n.sub.2 =(n.sub.2.sup.2 -n.sub.0.sup.2)/n.sub.2.sup.2.
