Abstract
Method for manufacturing an optical fiber perform, which forms a glass fine particle deposition portion composed of glass fine particles on a glass rod, and suspends the glass fine particle deposition vertically into a heating furnace to heat, and transparentize, the glass fine particle deposition. The method comprises the following steps: forming a hazy portion before heating, by causing a surface portion of the glass rod to sublime and adhere to at least a portion of a region closer to one end of the glass rod than a region of the glass rod where the deposition portion is formed; forming the deposition portion by depositing the glass fine particles on the glass rod; and transparentizing the deposition portion by heating the glass fine particle deposition in a state where the proximal end of the glass rod where the hazy portion is formed is suspended vertically into the heating furnace.
