Description of the Related Art Generally, an optical fiber preform is heated by a flame using a burner while being rotated on a glass lathe to correct bending, stretched to a predetermined diameter, and further subjected to processing such as flame polishing. You. The conventional burner has a structure in which a plurality of inner tubes through which a plurality of combustible gases flow are inserted into an outer tube through which a combustible gas flows, and the inner tubes are arranged at equal intervals at a crater portion of the burner. Although this burner can obtain an optimal flame state at a constant flame focal length, it is difficult to control the heating area and the heating temperature because the flame has a shape gradually expanding from the tip of the burner. . Therefore, when processing such as stretching, flame polishing, and fusing of the optical fiber preform, the distance between the preform and the burner tip is adjusted for each process so that an appropriate surface temperature or temperature distribution of the preform is obtained. I had to. Alternatively, the burner was sometimes replaced with the optimal one for each process. However, adjusting or replacing the burner for each process is inefficient in production.
