Abstract: In a known method for producing a dimensionally stable semi-finished product for use in producing fibers from synthetic quartz glass, an SiO2 soot layer is applied to the outer wall of a quartz glass inner cylinder and is subjected to a sintering treatment, wherein a sintering zone moves through the SiO2 soot layer from the outside to the inside.

The semi-finished product obtained in such a way is elongated into the optical component, wherein the intermediate layer sinters completely into transparent quartz glass.
