Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber includes: drawing an optical fiber from an optical fiber preform in a drawing furnace; and cooling the optical fiber in an annealing furnace. When the optical fiber enters the annealing furnace, a temperature difference between a temperature of the optical fiber and a fictive temperature of glass in a core of the optical fiber is 300° C. or less. The optical fiber is cooled for 0.01 seconds or more in the annealing furnace so that the temperature of the optical fiber becomes 1300° C. or more and 1800° C. or less.

Abstract: An optical fiber production method includes: drawing an optical fiber preform in a drawing furnace; and cooling the optical fiber. The optical fiber is passed through a plurality of annealing furnaces while the optical fiber is cooled. While the optical fiber is cooled, temperatures of the annealing furnaces are set such that the temperature difference is within a range between and including an upper limit and a lower limit of a temperature difference between a temperature of the optical fiber and a fictive temperature of glass constituting a core of the optical fiber at which an increase of a transmission loss of the optical fiber when the fictive temperature of the glass is decreased is less than 0.001 dB/km.
