A rare earth-doped core optical fiber of the present invention includes a core comprising a silica glass containing at least aluminum and ytterbium, and a clad provided around the core and comprising a silica glass having a lower refraction index than that of the core, wherein the core has an aluminum concentration of 2% by mass or more, and ytterbium is doped into the core at such a concentration that the light absorption band which appears around a wavelength of 976 nm in the light absorption band by ytterbium contained in the core shows a peak light absorption rate of 800 dB/m or less.
