Abstract
In the manufacture of preforms for optical fibres, the materials of the core (.alpha.) and of the light-conducting cladding layer (.beta..sub.1) are previously deposited from the gaseous phase. Deposition time is here considerably reduced in that only the materials of the core (.alpha.) and a part of the light-conducting cladding layer (.beta..sub.1) are deposited from the gaseous phase and the remaining light-conducting cladding material (.beta..sub.2 +.beta..sub.3) is supplied as pre-formed tubes of cladding material.
