ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber fabrication method and apparatus are described which are capable of producing reproducible and uniform layers of fiber quality glass. The formation of a saturated stream of glass precursor vapor by condensation allows for the delivery of calibrated predetermined quantities of vapor to an appropriate fiber fabrication apparatus, thereby permitting improved fabrication characteristics.
