摘要:
An apparatus for producing optical fiber ribbons which has a optical fiber gathering device, one or more coating applicators and a turn roller arranged in a straight line, with one or more alignment guide in plate form being provided on a travelling line of optical fibers or optical fiber ribbons upstream of the coating applicator. The alignment guide is chamfered to arch form on the side that contacts the optical fibers or the optical fiber ribbons. The alignment guide suppresses the optical fibers or the optical fiber ribbons from vibrating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the arrangement of the optical fibers or the optical fiber ribbons.
摘要:
A coated optical fiber of the invention is constructed by coating an energy beam curable resin onto the outer periphery of a wiredrawn optical fiber and curing the resin by radiating an energy beam to the resin to thereby provide a coating layer on the optical fiber. The temperature of peak mechanical loss tangent, Tan .delta., of the energy beam curable resin prior to curing is 25.degree. C. or lower.
摘要:
After a wide-band DCF is wound around a bobbin to form an optical fiber coil 32, the latter is removed from the bobbin and placed into a bundle state (the state where the increase in transmission loss in the wavelength band of 1.55 μm caused by distortions in winding is reduced by 0.1 dB/km or more) released from distortions in winding. A resin 42 is used as a coil-tidying member so as to secure the optical fiber coil 32 to a storage case 40 at four positions. Both ends of the optical fiber coil 32 are connected to pigtail fibers at fusion-splicing parts 44, respectively. Even when the storage case 40 is closed with a lid after the optical fiber coil 32 is secured to the storage case 40 with the resin 42, there remain interstices within the bundle of the optical fiber coil 32 and a space between the optical fiber coil 32 and the storage case 40. As a result, even when the optical fiber coil 32 in a bundle state is accommodated in the storage case 40, transmission loss and the like would not increase.
