The present invention provides an optical fiber, for use in a fiber laser, from which a high-quality single-mode laser beam with high optical power is obtained and also provides a fiber laser that uses the optical fiber. The novel optical fiber, which includes a core to which a rare earth element is doped and a cladding formed around the core, amplifies excitation light to oscillate a laser beam. A mode filter is formed at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber.
