Abstract

A plurality of glass particles synthesizing burners are arranged at a predetermined burner interval opposite to a rotating starting rod. The starting rod and the glass particles synthesizing burners are relatively parallely reciprocally moved, and the soot deposition is conducted. A reciprocating speed v(mm/minute), axis rotating speed r (rpm), and burner interval L (mm) are set so that a value A expressed by the expression A=(r/v)×L is in a range 40≧A≧8.
