This research addresses the Outside Vapor Deposition process for the            production of optical fiber preforms.  The process is a complex                 combination of elements including the processes of particle formation,          growth and deposition.  The objective of the research is to determine           the particle growth history, the particle composition and the                   efficiency of deposition.  This will be achieved through both                   experimental studies of the soot formation and deposition processes             and analysis of the particle formation, growth and transport.                                                                                                   The Outside Vapor Deposition process produces the highest performance           fibers.  This process has the flexibility to manufacture diverse                fibers at the lowest cost.  However, the collection efficiency is only          about 50 percent.  Therefore the understanding of the basic                     characteristics of the process will contribute to the advancement of            this process.  It is expected that the results of the investigation             will advance this production technique and aid in the optimization of           the process.
