The application relates to an ultra-low-loss large-effective-area
optical fiber, which comprises, from inside to outside along the radial direction of the
optical fiber, a core layer, a first gradient layer, an inner cladding layer, a second gradient layer, a sunken cladding layer, a third gradient layer, a transition cladding layer, a fourth gradient layer and an outer cladding layer; the core layer is
chlorine-
boron co-doped or
chlorine-
fluorine co-doped silica and is not doped with
germanium; the first gradient layer, the inner cladding layer, the second gradient layer, the sunken cladding layer, the third gradient layer, the transition cladding layer and the fourth gradient layer are all
fluorine-
boron co-doped silica; and the outer cladding layer is pure silica. The application can solve the
optical fiber attenuation problem caused by the
viscosity imbalance of the existing optical
fiber structure while having ultra-low loss and large effective area.
