<p>An optical fiber of a silica-based material includes a coating of cured silicone rubber covering an outer surface thereof. The cured silicone rubber coating, when subjected to an infrared spectroscopic measurement, has a transmissivity of not less than 70% at a wave number of 2100 to 2200 cm<Sup>-1</Sup> at a coating thickness of 0.1 mm due to the infrared absorption due to the stretching and vibration of SiH. The coating of cured silicone rubber contains a neglibible amount of SiH so that the transmission loss of the optical fiber can be prevented from increasing over a long period of time.</p>
