Abstract
A method for producing a glass preform for an optical fiber by an outside vapor-phase deposition method, which comprises forming fine glass particles by jetting gaseous glass raw material and fuel gas from a first burner to deposit the particles on a seed rod to form a soot rod at such a temperature that a specific bulk density of the soot rod being formed is low and subsequently heating the soot rod by a second burner so as to increase the bulk density of the soot and then sintering the soot rod to obtain a transparent glass preform for an optical fiber, by which method, a highly pure glass preform is produced in a good deposition yield without cracking.
