Abstract
An optical fiber includes: a central core portion; an intermediate layer formed around an outer circumference of the central core portion; a trench layer formed around an outer circumference of the intermediate layer; and a cladding portion formed around an outer circumference of the trench layer. Further, when, relative to the cladding portion, a relative refractive-index difference of the central core portion is Δ1, a relative refractive-index difference of the intermediate layer is Δ2, and a relative refractive-index difference of the trench layer is Δ3, relationships Δ1>Δ2>Δ3 and 0>Δ3 are satisfied and Δ1 is equal to or greater than 0.34% and equal to or less than 0.40%, |Δ3| is equal to or less than 0.25%, and Δ1×|Δ3| is less than 0.08%.
