Abstract

A method of producing high-purity transparent vitreous silica by supplying to a burner a high-purity silane type gas, and an inert gas, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to effect the flame hydrolysis, comprising growing highly pure transparent vitreous silica at a controlled atmosphere of said flame that may increase the oxygen defect concentration of the vitreous silica, and thereafter heat-treating said formed body.
