A single-mode optical fiber has a core and a cladding, and is produced in such a way that, when the radii of layers having individual refractive indexes are varied, more than one optical properties of the core, for example, the effective core area A<SUB>eff </SUB>and the dispersion slope exhibit respective limiting values within a specific range of a reference radius. Such optical fibers provide basically the same optical properties but enable to vary the chromatic dispersion within a specific range so that the single-mode optical fiber is ideally suited for use in high-speed and large capacity communication systems.
