ABSTRACT:
A heating oven is provided for processing glass materials, e.g., porous glass preforms, from which optical waveguide fibers are prepared. The oven includes a stationary elongated chamber, e.g., a silica muffle, for receiving the glass material which is to be processed. At least a portion of the chamber is surrounded by a stationary susceptor. The chamber is heated by moving an energized induction heating coil along a path parallel to the longitudinal axes of the susceptor and the chamber.
