Abstract
An optical fiber preform production method includes: inserting at least one glass rod into at least one through-hole that penetrates a cladding glass body that is a cladding of an optical fiber; integrating a dummy rod by either integrating a solid dummy silica rod with a first end of the cladding glass body by heating the first end to close a first opening of the through-hole that opens in the first end, or forming a base end seal that closes the first opening in the first end and integrating the solid dummy silica rod with the base end; and closing a second opening of the through-hole that opens in a second end of the cladding glass body by heating and deforming the second end.
