However, in the method shown in Figure 2, since the stress applying glass rod 8 is deformed from a perfect circle, the left-right symmetry is not maintained, which not only deteriorates the constant polarization characteristic but also lacks reproducibility in the degree of deformation. There was a drawback. In addition, in the method shown in Fig. 3, the 13 parts of the glass rod for stress application and the 10 parts of the core are deformed, and solidification cannot be uniformly performed, and the uniformity of deformation in the longitudinal direction of the base material and the reproducibility of deformation are not guaranteed. There were drawbacks such as being inferior in quality.

(b) After providing axially symmetrically opposing axial grooves on the outer circumferential surface of the core glass rod, which has a core portion in the center, stress applying glass rods are inserted into the respective grooves, and quartz is then added to the outer circumference of the core glass rod. Since the composite material is made by fitting the tube onto the outside, the gaps inside the composite material can be reduced, and since they are heated and integrated and then spun, the deformation of the core and stress-applying glass due to processing is minimized.
Since this occurs with good reproducibility and a fiber in which the stress applying glasses are arranged symmetrically can be obtained, a uniform polarization-constant fiber with excellent polarization characteristics can be manufactured with good reproducibility.
