An optical fiber for an optical amplifier, which contains dysprosium ion (Dy3+) with an improved light amplification efficiency at the 1.31 mum band. The optical fiber includes a germanium-gallium-sulfide (Ge-Ga-S) glass, an alkali metal halide, and Dy as a rare earth element. In the optical fiber, the interaction of electrons of Dy3+ and phonons in the glass lattice can be minimized, so that the multiphonon relaxation of Dy3+0 from 4F11/2 and 6H9/2 to 6H11/2 is slowed down, and thus the fluorescence lifetime at 1.31 mum is elongated, further improving the fluorescence efficiency of the optical fiber.
