    摘要: In a fabrication method of coated optical fiber 21, the coated optical fiber 21 is fabricated by heating to soften an end of an optical fiber preform 11 to draw a glass fiber 13 out therefrom, laying coatings 16, 19 on the glass fiber 13 to make the coated optical fiber 21, and guiding the coated optical fiber 21 via a swing guide roller 23 periodically swinging, to twist the coated optical fiber 21, thereby imparting twists about the axis to the glass fiber 13 inside the coated optical fiber 21. The fabrication method comprises a step of passing the coated optical fiber 21 having passed the swing guide roller 23, through a free zone (between 26 and 27) in which the coated optical fiber 21 is allowed to freely rotate about the axis, and thereby longitudinally canceling out elastic torsion stored in the coated optical fiber 21 because of longitudinally alternate inversion of twist directions thereof, wherein a zone length L (m) of the free zone is not less than Lo (m) defined as follows: Lo (m)=[a maximum drawing speed of the coated optical fiber (m/min)]/[the number of clockwise and counterclockwise swing motions per unit time of the swing guide roller (motions/min)].

    摘要: A method and apparatus for coating optical transmission glass fibers with a resinous composition. A vessel is provided through which a glass fiber is drawn. While it is being drawn through the vessel, the fiber is spun, and a resin coating is applied. In order to maintain the air pressure within the vessel fairly constant, an exhaust vent is provided through which excess particles of the resinous composition may escape. Turbulence is thus substantially reduced preventing the fiber from swinging and allowing the particles to be sprayed smoothly. Further, the particles may be electrically charged so that they are both attracted to the optical fiber and repel one another during flight. The invention employs both of these features to produce a uniform coat on an optical transmission glass fiber.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for detecting irregular portions of an optical fiber which arise due to microscopic bubbles, bruises, and the like during an optical fiber drawing process. The present invention operates by varying the pulling rate of a pulling capstan based on feeding back measurements of the external diameter of the optical fiber to the pulling capstan. The ratio of a given pulling rate variation to a predetermined time period is then computed. The computed ratio is then compared to a previously specified value.
