Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed which ensures highly accurate control of the core-cladding diameter, enabling the fabrication of a preform for the single mode fiber. Moreover, glass refining steps for dehydration, the removal of compound ions, the reduction of the absorption loss by transition metals, etc. and preform manufacturing steps are combined into a series of steps, and the entire manufacturing process can be mechanized and automatically controlled; therefore, the yield rate of product is high and the industrial-scale productivity is also excellent.
