    Abstract: The present invention provides nanometer-sized diameter silica fibers that exhibit high diameter uniformity and surface smoothness. The silica fibers can have diameters in a range of a about 20 nm to about 1000 nm. An exemplary method according to one embodiment of the invention for generating such fibers utilizes a two-step process in which in an initial step a micrometer sized diameter silica preform fiber is generated, and in a second step, the silica preform is drawn while coupled to a support element to form a nanometer sized diameter silica fiber. The portion of the support element to which the preform is coupled is maintained at a temperature suitable for drawing the nansized fiber, and is preferably controlled to exhibit a temporally stable temperature profile.

    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a process for producing a synthetic quartz glass while taking account of a refractive index distribution remaining in the synthetic quartz glass; a jig for use in the synthetic-quartz-glass production process; and a synthetic quartz glass for an optical member, produced by the process. A process for producing a synthetic quartz glass, which comprises: depositing and growing fine quartz glass particles synthesized by flame hydrolysis of a glass-forming material on a rotating target to thereby form a porous quartz glass base of a substantially cylindrical shape; presintering the porous quartz glass base; and heating the presintered porous quartz glass base to a temperature not lower than the vitrification temperature to convert the base into a transparent glass, wherein in the step of conversion into a transparent glass, the porous quartz glass base is placed so as to make its growth axis vertical and a load is vertically imposed on the thus-placed porous quartz glass base.
