Abstract

A process for preparing the mandrel suitable for producing flawless optical fiber preform, wherein the mandrel can be easily removed from the soot porous body without causing any defects, such as voids, bubbles, impurities, uncollapsed portion in the centerline region of the preform thus produced, wherein said process is characterized by heating the mandrel before the start of soot deposition to form a soot porous body having core and clad.
