摘要:
Disclosed is an apparatus for fabricating a preform used to manufacture a photonic crystal optical fiber having multiple holes extending in a longitudinal direction thereof. The apparatus includes a housing for containing a raw material for the photonic crystal optical fiber; a first support member positioned at one end of the housing; a second support member positioned at the other end of the housing; and multiple tubes respectively supported by the first and second support members to be at least partly located within the housing, wherein diameter of each multiple tube can be variable selectively depending on an amount of fluid poured through the open ends of the tubes.
