Abstract
An optical fiber base material drawing method for forming a constricted shape having a reduced diameter along a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber base material in a predetermined constricted shape segment in the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber base material at one end of the optical fiber base material, including: starting heating of the optical fiber base material with a heating source from a heating start position positioned in the constricted shape segment; then heating the optical fiber base material with the heating source in another segment having a predetermined length adjacent to the constricted shape segment; then returning the heating source to the heating start position and softening the optical fiber base material in the constricted shape segment by heating the optical fiber base material; and then forming the constricted shape by reducing the diameter of the optical fiber base material by applying a tensile force thereto.
