ABSTRACT:
In an optical fiber including a core region and cladding regions of not less than three layers which surrounds the core region in order, each of said cladding regions has a mean refractive index different from those of the adjacents regions,at least one of the cladding regions has a lower mean refractive index than both adjacent regions, and at least one cladding region is provided with a plurality of sub medium regions each having a refractive index lower than a main medium constituting this cladding region.
