The heating body 4 is surrounded by a pressure vessel 5 made of steel or the like, and an inert gas is supplied into the pressure vessel 5 through a pipe 13 and a pressure control valve 1.
4. The control device 12 receives pressure information from a pressure gauge 10 measuring the atmospheric pressure inside the reaction vessel 30 and a pressure gauge 11 measuring the atmospheric pressure inside the pressure vessel 5.
The flow rate of the inert gas flowing into the pressure vessel 5 is
The pressure inside the reaction vessel 3 is controlled via a pressure control valve 14 installed in the piping 13 so that it is equal to the pressure inside the reaction vessel 3 or approximately several millimeters higher in water column.

ドープすることができる。Therefore, the internal and external pressures of the reaction vessel 3 are automatically maintained approximately equal by a pressure regulating device comprising a pressure gauge 10.degree. 11, a control device 12, and a pressure control valve 14. For this reason, almost no pressure acts on the reaction vessel 3, and the reaction vessel 3 can be made of relatively thin materials such as quartz or aluminum oxide.For the reasons mentioned above, there is no risk of the reaction vessel 3 bursting even with a thin wall. Therefore, the porous optical fiber preform 2 can be rapidly doped with the dopant component in the doping gas under pressure.
