Abstract: In one embodiment, an optical fiber cooling system includes a first cooling tube oriented substantially in parallel with and spaced apart from a second cooling tube such that an optical fiber pathway is positioned between the first cooling tube and the second cooling tube. The first cooling tube includes a plurality of cooling fluid outlets positioned along an axial length of the first cooling tube which are oriented to direct a flow of cooling fluid across the optical fiber pathway towards the second cooling tube. The second cooling tube includes a plurality of cooling fluid outlets positioned along an axial length of the second cooling tube which are oriented to direct a flow of cooling fluid across the optical fiber pathway towards the first cooling tube.

Abstract: A method for forming an optical fiber includes drawing the optical fiber from a glass supply and treating the fiber by maintaining the optical fiber in a treatment zone wherein the fiber is cooled at a specified cooling rate. The optical fiber treatment reduces the tendency of the optical fiber to increase in attenuation due to Rayleigh scattering, and/or over time following formation of the optical fiber due to heat aging. Methods for producing optical fibers along nonlinear paths incorporating fluid bearings are also provided thereby allowing for increased vertical space for the fiber treatment zone.
Abstract translation: 一种形成光纤的方法包括：从玻璃供给部拉出光纤，并通过将光纤维持在处理区域进行处理，其中纤维以特定的冷却速度被冷却。 光纤处理降低了由于瑞利散射引起的光纤衰减增加的趋势，和/或随着热老化形成光纤的时间的延长。 还提供了沿着包含流体轴承的非线性路径生产光纤的方法，从而允许增加纤维处理区的垂直空间。

Abstract: A method for producing a coated optical fiber may include drawing an optical fiber from a draw furnace along a first vertical pathway. The optical fiber may then be routed through at least one fluid bearing thereby redirecting the optical fiber along a second vertical pathway. Thereafter, a thermoplastic coating may be applied to the optical fiber with a thermoplastic coating system. The optical fiber may then be wound onto a fiber storage spool with a fiber take-up system. The fiber take-up system may be space apart from the thermoplastic coating system such that the thermoplastic coating may be cooled before the optical fiber is wound onto the fiber storage spool.
Abstract translation: 涂覆光纤的制造方法可以包括沿着第一垂直路径从拉制炉拉制光纤。 然后可以将光纤穿过至少一个流体轴承，从而沿着第二垂直路径重定向光纤。 此后，热塑性涂层可以用热塑性涂层系统施加到光纤上。 然后可以用光纤卷绕系统将光纤卷绕到光纤存储卷轴上。 纤维卷取系统可以是与热塑性涂层体系分开的空间，使得热塑性涂层可以在光纤被卷绕到纤维存储卷轴之前被冷却。

Abstract: An optical fiber production system and method are provided for producing optical fiber. An optical fiber is drawn from a preform in a furnace and passes through a treatment device under a reduced pressure in the range of 0.01 to 0.80 atm. The treatment device cools the bare optical fiber as it cools to a temperature in the range of at least 1,600° C. to 1,300° C. A non-contact fiber centering device is located near an exit of the treatment device to provide centering of the optical fiber as it exits the treatment device.
