Abstract: A method for producing an optical fiber preform according to the present invention includes an etching step of heating a silica-based glass tube using a heat source continuously traversed in the longitudinal direction of the glass tube to etch the inner surface portion of the glass tube containing impurities while an etching gas is allowed to flow into the glass tube. The glass tube has a maximum alkali metal concentration of 500 to 20,000 atomic ppm, a maximum chlorine concentration of 0 to 1000 atomic ppm, and a maximum fluorine concentration of 0 to 10,000 atomic ppm. In the etching step, the maximum temperature of the outer surface of the glass tube is in the range of 1900° C. to 2250° C., and the heating time is set to a time equal to or less than a time (min) given by ( 7 - alkai metal concentration ppm 5000 ) .

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber preform and fiber. According to the method, a first glass rod is formed, preferably by an OVD method, with a refractive index delta preferably between 0.2% and 3%. A glass sleeve tube is formed, preferably by an MCVD or PVCD method. The first glass rod is inserted into the sleeve and an alkali metal vapor is flowed between the sleeve tube and the first glass rod. Additional glass may optionally be formed on the inside surface of the sleeve tube prior to inserting the first glass rod and flowing the alkali metal vapor. The additional glass may be up-doped, down-doped, or both. The sleeve may then be collapsed onto the first glass rod to form a second glass rod doped with an alkali metal oxide. The second glass rod is drawn to form a third glass rod. Additional glass may then be formed on the third glass rod to form an optical fiber preform from which optical fiber may be drawn. Alternatively, the first glass rod is removed from the sleeve tube after flowing the alkali metal vapor and before the collapse step, after which additional glass may be formed on the first glass rod to form an optical fiber preform.
