A method for producing an optical fiber having low polarization mode dispersion, by the steps of a) providing an optical fiber perform of glass material; b) heating the glass material of an end portion of the optical fiber perform; c) drawing the heated glass material at a drawing speed V to form an optical fiber, the drawn glass material having a viscous zone; and d) applying to the optical fiber a substantially sinusoidal spin, which is transmitted to the viscous zone, the spin function frequency nu , the viscous zone length L and the drawing speed V being such that both a torsion and at least a 50% detorsion are applied to the viscous zone.
