PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To provide a method for manufacturing in high productivity an optical fiber having a uniform core NA that enables a solution of a compound containing rare earth elements to be efficiently used.SOLUTION : The method for manufacturing a preform for the optical fiber includes a liquid impregnation step where glass microparticles deposited on the inner peripheral surface of a quartz tube by the MCVD method are impregnated with the solution of a compound containing rare earth elements to add the rare earth elements to the glass microparticles. After a step of clarifying the glass microparticles added with the rare earth elements, the method for manufacturing a preform for the optical fiber includes another step of depositing the glass microparticles and another step of clarifying the glass microparticles.COPYRIGHT : (C)2010, JPO&INPIT
