ABSTRACT:
A process for preparing a preform for the production of optical fiber by depositing and sintering glass particles upon a glass rod is disclosed. The process comprises directing a stream of glass particles onto the surface of a glass rod which is slowly rotated and moved in a translational direction so as to obtain even deposition of the particulate matter. A separate heat source is supplied beyond the point of deposition of the particles and continuously sinters the deposited particulate as the rod undergoes repeated translation.
