Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An optical fiber includes an optical transmission medium comprising a core and a cladding; a primary resin layer disposed in contact with the optical transmission medium to coat the optical transmission medium; and a secondary resin layer coating the primary resin layer, and 1.1 ppm or less of a phosphorus compound and 2.5% by mass or less of a phenol compound based on the total amount of the primary resin layer are contained in the primary resin layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An optical fiber including: an optical transmission medium comprising a core and a cladding; a primary resin layer disposed in contact with the optical transmission medium to coat the optical transmission medium; and a secondary resin layer coating the primary resin layer, wherein 1.1 ppm or less of a phosphorus compound and 2.5% by mass or less of a phenol compound based on a total amount of the primary resin layer are contained in the primary resin layer. 2 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein the phosphorus compound comprises diphenylphosphoryl azide and/or methylphosphinic acid. 3 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein the phenol compound comprises a catechol compound. 4 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the phosphorus compound is 0.1 to 1.0 ppm. 5 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the phenol compound is 0.1 to 2.0% by mass. 6 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein a tin content of the primary resin layer is 10 to 150 ppm. 7 . The optical fiber according to claim 1 , wherein a Young's modulus of the primary resin layer is 0.5 MN or less at 23° C.
