Abstract(in English) In order to fabricate low loss optical fibers cost-effectively, we propose a method that can be utilized to predict their Rayleigh scattering loss before they are drawn. The method is based on the relationship between their fictive temperature and such drawing conditions as drawing speed, length and temperature distribution in the furnace. First, we constructed a theoretical model that describes the effects of fictive temperature, dopant concentration, and optical power distribution in the fiber cross-section on the Rayleigh scattering loss. We applied the model to a GeO_2-doped silica core single-mode fiber, and confirmed that the experimental and calculated Rayleigh scattering values were in good agreement within a relative error of 3%.
