When drawing an optical fiber from a preform, positive and negative dispersion sections of an optical fiber are provided, respectively, with target glass diameters different from each other, whereby the positive and negative dispersion sections attain their respective desirable values of chromatic dispersion. Also, the positive and negative dispersion sections and a transient section therebetween are provided, respectively, with values of control constant different from each other, which are used to converge the measured glass diameter to said target diameter, for adjusting the drawing speed, whereby the transient section is shortened. Alternatively, the positive and negative dispersion sections of the optical fiber are provided with respective target drawing speeds different from each other, whereby the transient section is shortened.
A method of making an optical fiber provided with positive and negative dispersion sections having positive and negative chromatic dispersions at a predetermined wavelength, respectively, which sections are disposed alternately in a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber drawn from a preform;
