Abstract

A method for producing an optical fiber preform comprising injecting a glass raw material, a gaseous fluorine-containing material and oxygen gas from a first nozzle, inactive gas from a second nozzle which surrounds the first nozzle and hydrogen gas from a third nozzle which surrounds the second nozzle, flame hydrolyzing the glass raw material to synthesis fine glass particles and depositing the fine glass particles on a tip of a rotating seed rod to produce the optical fiber preform containing fluorine.
