Abstract
An optical fiber includes: a core that includes quartz glass doped with a core updopant; an inner cladding that includes quartz glass doped with a cladding updopant and a downdopant and that covers a circumferential surface of the core; and an outer cladding that includes quartz glass and that covers an outer circumferential surface of the inner cladding. A refractive index of the inner cladding is substantially equal to a refractive index of the outer cladding. The inner cladding contains the cladding updopant at a concentration such that a refractive index increase rate ascribed to the cladding updopant falls within a range of 0.25% to 0.5%.
