ABSTRACT:
The method of manufacturing an optical fiber in accordance with the present invention comprises a step of yielding an optical fiber by drawing an optical fiber preform softened upon heating, wherein a temperature at which the optical fiber preform is softened is at least 1800° C., whereas the optical fiber preform or optical fiber has a glass cooling rate of 4000° C./sec or less when attaining a temperature of 1800° C.
