摘要:
A method for producing a glass preform for use in the fabrication of an optical fiber which comprises inserting a core rod made of quartz glass in a cladding tube made of quartz glass added with fluorine, heating them from the outside of the cladding tube to fuse them together to form a primary glass preform comprising a core rod and a first cladding layer around the core rod, depositing SiO.sub.2 soot particles around the primary glass preform and thermally treating the soot deposited glass preform in the presence of a fluorine-containing compound to form a final glass preform from which an optical fiber is fabricated. From the glass preform produced by this method, an optical fiber having low attenuation of light transmission in a wide range of wave-length is fabricated.
