The present invention relates to a light-amplifying optical fiber comprising a structure for realizing a flat gain characteristic or oscillation characteristic in a wider wavelength band, and a method of making the same. The light-amplifying optical fiber according to the present invention comprises a second doped area containing a first doped area including an optical axis center and having a larger outer diameter than the first doped area. The second doped area is doped with at least one of A12O3, P2O5, Y2O3, and B2O3 as an oxide of an element having a valence different from that of a cation constituting a main material of the light-amplifying optical fiber; whereas the first doped area is doped with at least one of Er, Nd, Tm, Yb, and Pr as a rare-earth element together with the oxide.
