Abstract: A method of producing an optical fiber wire including a coating made of an ultraviolet curable resin, the method includes: a first irradiation step including applying first ultraviolet light to a point on the optical fiber wire where at least a portion of the ultraviolet curable resin is uncured; and a second irradiation step including applying second ultraviolet light to the point on the optical fiber wire where at least the portion is cured after the first irradiation step. The portion is a surface layer of the coating. A temperature of the optical fiber wire immediately before the second irradiation step is 50° C. or higher and 300° C. or lower.

Abstract: A device for coating a fiber includes a fiber receiving arrangement and a coating arrangement which includes an application unit which wets the fiber with a coating agent, and a curing unit arranged downstream of the application unit which optically cures the coating agent. The curing unit includes a lamp which emits at least one light beam which is aimed directly or indirectly at a surface of the fiber. A main radiation direction of the lamp includes a beam angle between the main radiation direction and a longitudinal direction of the fiber of less than 40°. The fiber receiving arrangement and the application unit are movable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the fiber via a translational motion arrangement so that a wetting process is implemented substantially along an entire length of the fiber.
