Patent ID: 11079537

Abstract:
An optical fiber has a core to which chlorine is added and a clad to which fluorine is added, chlorine of 9000 to 13000 ppm is added to the core, a relative refractive index difference Δ1 of the core to a pure silica glass is 0.09 to 0.13%, a relative refractive index difference Δ2 of the clad to a pure silica glass is −0.36 to −0.17%, a difference (Δ1-Δ2) between the relative refractive index difference Δ1 of the core and the relative refractive index difference Δ2 of the clad is larger than or equal to 0.30%, a mode field diameter at wavelength 1.31 μm is 8.8 to 9.6 μm, and a stress difference occurring at an interface between the core and the clad is lower than or equal to 60 MPa.
