The optical fiber preform is a core raw material for manufacturing a silica-based optical fiber. The internal structure of the optical fiber is formed in the preform, and thus the fabrication of the preform is the most important part of the optical fiber process. There are various methods for manufacturing the optical fiber preform, and a commonly used manufacturing process is a gas phase oxidation method. In the gas phase oxidation process, high purity halide vapor and oxygen react to form oxide particles which are deposited on the surface of a glass or quartz body (or the inner wall of a tubular body) and then sintered to form a transparent glass rod.
