One of the great triumphs of the inflationary model is the prediction of the flat power spectrum of the CMB fluctuation. The prediction is based on the assumption of the de-Sitter vacuum in the past infinity. However, the true past infinity of the inflation is expected to be dominated by radiation and curvature of the space. We consider pre-inflation era as dominated by radiation and curvatures as well as inflation potential. We derive the exact solutions for the scalar fields in this era and find a exact power spectra caused by the inflaton vacuum fluctuation. We show that the power spectrum is almost flat for sub-horizon scale and deviates from flat for very high super-horizon fluctuation, which is quite sensitive to the radiation and the curvature in the pre-inflation era.
