Abstract
A porous glass base material manufacturing apparatus for an optical fiber includes: a liquid mass flow controller for controlling a flow rate of raw material liquid of an organic siloxane; a vaporizer for mixing raw material liquid and carrier gas to vaporize raw material liquid to form mixed gas; a raw material liquid nozzle for ejecting raw material liquid into the vaporizer; a carrier gas supply pipe for supplying carrier gas into the vaporizer; a raw material liquid pipe for introducing raw material liquid into the nozzle; a burner for combusting mixed gas with combustible gas and combustion supporting gas to produce SiOparticles; a mixed gas pipe for supplying mixed gas to the burner; an open/close valve on a flow path of the raw material liquid pipe; and a purge gas supply pipe that joins the raw material liquid pipe between the valve and the raw material liquid nozzle.
