Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber with improved bend performance and manufacturing method thereof. The optical fiber (100) comprises a core region (108) defined by a core refractive index profile (200) and a cladding region (106) surrounding the core region defined by a cladding refractive index profile (400). Particularly, the core region has a first core (102) defined by a first core refractive index (RI) profile (202) and a first core RI max (Δpeak) and a second core (104) defined by a second core RI profile (204) and a second core RI max (Δcore). Moreover, the cladding region further comprises a first cladding (106) and a third cladding (110) composed of pure silica and a second cladding (108) composed of a down-doped silica, where the down-dopant is fluorine.
