Provided is an optical amplifier fiber in which both increasing output light power and sufficiently inhibiting the occurrence of nonlinear optical phenomenon can be compatibly achieved. In addition, an optical amplifier and light source equipment, in which such optical amplifier fiber is used, are provided. The optical amplifier fiber comprises (1) a core region doped with an aluminum element in the range of 1 wt % to 10 wt %, an erbium element in the range of 1000 wt. ppm to 5000 wt. ppm, and a fluorine element, the core region having an outer diameter in the range of 10 mum to 30 mum, and (2) a cladding region surrounding the core region and having a refractive index that is lower than the core region, wherein the relative refractive index difference of the core region relative to the cladding region is 0.3% or more and 2.0% or less.
