Abstract
The method of manufacturing a silica glass preform comprises the steps of inserting a rod-like member mainly containing a ductile material, into a forming space of a mold, charging the remaining space of the forming space with a forming material containing silica glass powder or doped silica glass powder, compressing the mold charged with the forming material from outside such as to form a porous glass body of the forming material around the rod-like member, removing the rod-like member from the porous glass body, inserting a glass rod into the hole formed after removal of the rod-like member, purifying said porous glass body in which the glass rod is inserted, and consolidating said porous glass body purified in the above purifying step.
