Abstract: An optical fiber includes: a core portion; and a cladding portion that has a refractive index lower than a maximum refractive index of the core portion and that surrounds an outer periphery of the core portion. The core portion includes a center core doped with germanium, and a low refractive index layer that surrounds an outer periphery of the center core, and in which −Δmax that is a minimum value of a relative refractive-index difference with respect to an average refractive index of the cladding portion is a negative value. A residual compressive stress in the center core is equal to or larger than 40 MPa and equal to or less than 150 MPa, and Δ1 that is an average maximum relative refractive-index difference of the center core with respect to the average refractive index of the cladding portion is equal to or less than 0.8%.

Abstract: A method of producing an optical fiber preform includes a silica glass body forming step of forming a silica glass body to be at least a portion of a core portion. The method includes an alkali-metal-doped silica glass body forming step of forming an alkali-metal-doped silica glass body doped with an alkali metal around the silica glass body such that the alkali-metal-doped silica glass body contacts the silica glass body. The method further includes a diffusing step of diffusing the alkali metal from the alkali-metal-doped silica glass body to the silica glass body by a heat treatment.

Abstract: A method of producing a glass preform including: forming a porous glass soot configured by an inner deposition soot deposited on a start material and an outer deposition soot deposited outside the inner deposition soot; and sintering, after the forming, the porous glass soot while doping with fluorine to form a glass body including an inner glass portion and an outer glass layer. An amount of the fluorine, with which the inner deposition soot is doped at the sintering, is equal to or more than 0 g/cm3 and less than an amount of the fluorine with which the outer deposition soot is doped.

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.
