A method for fabricating silica glass is disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) hydrolyzing silicon alkoxide; (b) hydrolyzing heterometal alkoxide containing Bi and Ti components; (c) mixing a solution containing hydrolyzed products of the silicon alkoxide and a solution containing hydrolyzed products of the heterometal alkoxide, thus forming a mixed solution; (d) molding gel by pouring the mixed solution into a forming mold; (e) drying the molded gel; and (e) performing heat-treatment of the dried gel so as to vitrify the gel.
