Abstract: Domestic manufacturers of optical fibers are facing the problem of acquisition of raw materials and reagents abroad, which becomes more and more acute - the price is rising, and customs procedures do not contribute to the revival of domestic production of optical fibers made of quartz glass. Consumption of fibers in Russia exceeds the 3.5 million km per year, while the consumption of 1 million km per year is a "critical point" after which is economically feasible to produce the optical fibers at its own factories. This situation has forced to go back to the establishment of the optical fiber production in Russia. Hence the importance of the finding a ways to manufacture quartz optical fiber with a minimum range of reagents used is hight. The solution of this problem is possible only on the basis of substantial modernization and simplification of technological process of manufacturing the optical fiber, so that on the basis of a limited number of domestic materials and reagents to produce fibers that are not inferior counterparts of leading foreign manufacturers of quality, but differ with advantageous cost.
