<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber manufacturing method for more easily manufacturing an optical fiber having a minute and complex cross sectional structure. <P>SOLUTION: The optical fiber manufacturing method includes: preparing first base materials each of which includes at least one core forming part to form a core and a cladding forming part to form a cladding; performing a first stretching step to form second base materials by forming a first bundle by bundling two or more base materials including at least one of the prepared first base materials and by thermally stretching the first bundle; and performing a second stretching step to form a second bundle by bundling two or more base materials including at least one of the second base materials and by thermally stretching the second bundle. The second bundle is thermally stretched until the optical fiber is formed at the second stretching step. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
