A glass for a light guide fiber GA1 is used in a core of a fiber 10 of a light guide, and has a refractive index nd between 1.56 and 1.74. The glass for a light guide fiber GA1 has the following composition: (A) SiO2: 20 to 55 wt %, (B11) B2O3: 0 to 2.0 wt %, (B2) does not contain P2O5 and GeO2, (C1) (BaO+SrO+La2O3+Lu2O3+Ta2O3+Gd2O3+WO3): 39 to 46 wt %, (D1) ZnO: 4 to 16 wt %, (E) does not contain Al2O3, (F) does not contain ZrO2, (G) does not contain PbO and As2O3, (H1) (Na2O+K2O): 4 to 10 wt %, (I1) Sb2O3: 0.001 to 0.010 wt %, and (J1) (Na2SO4+K2SO4): 0.32 to 0.78 wt %. |
