ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for producing an optical fiber preform including a metal remover, which operates by adsorption, that removes gaseous transition metal impurities present in a process gas to be provided to a furnace for drying, doping or consolidation. The apparatus and method may reduce attenuation of the resultant optical fiber drawn from the preform.
