ABSTRACT:
A glass preform for use in the fabrication of a dispersion shifted single mode optical fiber is produced by a method for comprising steps of inserting a core member consisting of an inner core part made of a germanium-added quartz glass which optionally contains fluorine and an outer core part made of a quartz glass having a refractive index smaller than that of the inner core part in a glass tube made of a fluorine-added quartz glass having a refractive index smaller than that of the outer core part, heating the core member and the glass tube to collapse the glass tube and fuse them together to produce a glass perform. The glass preform comprises a core member consisting of an inner core part made of GeO.sub.2 -SiO.sub.2 glass or GeO.sub.2 -F-SiO.sub.2 glass and an outer core part made of F-SiO.sub.2 glass and a cladding made of F-SiO.sub.2 glass and provides a dispersion shifted single mode optical fiber having reduced attenuation of light transmission in the 1.5 .mu.m wavelength band.
