Disclosed is a method for fabricating an optical fiber preform using a double torch in MCVD, which includes a first process of heating a quartz tube (10) at a temperature lower than a sintering temperature by using a first torch (21) with putting reaction gas, oxygen gas and dehydration gas into the tube so that soot particles are generated and deposited, and heating the tube to a predetermined temperature by using a second torch (22) spaced apart from the first torch after the first torch (21) passes so that moisture in the soot particles is removed; and a second process of conducting dehydration for removing moisture in the soot particles by use of the first torch (21) again, and heating the tube above a sintering temperature by using the second torch (22) so that the soot particles free from moisture are vitrified. |
