Abstract: In a method for producing a quartz glass member, an F2 laser is radiated onto a sample obtained from a quartz glass base material under a predetermined condition to judge whether or not a peak intensity of H2 Raman scattering light is decreased by not less than 80% as compared with a peak intensity of H2 Raman scattering light obtained for a sample not irradiated with the F2 laser. If the peak intensity of H2 Raman scattering light is decreased by less than 80%, then it is judged that the laser resistance of the quartz glass base material is sufficient, and the synthetic quartz glass member is processed from the base material. The compaction of the sample is also measured.
