    Abstract: An optical fiber production method includes: drawing an optical fiber from an optical fiber preform in a drawing furnace; cooling the optical fiber in an annealing furnace; and delivering the optical fiber into the annealing furnace, and controlling a temperature difference between a temperature of the optical fiber and a fictive temperature of glass forming a core included in the optical fiber to be higher than 20° C. and lower than 100° C.

    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.

    Abstract: The refractive index of the inner core part 11 in a region in contact with the boundary of the outer core part 12 is higher than the refractive index of the outer core part 12. The refractive index of the outer core part 12 is gradually decreased from the inner circumferential side to the outer circumferential side. The refractive index of the inner cladding part 21 is equal to the refractive index of the outermost circumferential part of the outer core part 12 and not greater than the refractive index of the outer cladding part 22.

    Abstract: An optical fiber production method includes: drawing an optical fiber from 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. Equation (1) is held in a given period during the cooling, where a time constant of relaxation of a structure of glass forming a core included in the optical fiber is defined as τ(T), a temperature of the optical fiber at a point in time during the cooling is defined as T, a fictive temperature of glass forming the core at the point in time is defined as Tf0, and a fictive temperature of glass forming the core after a lapse of time Δt from the point in time is defined as Tf. 20° C.
