    摘要: A coating is applied on an optical fiber drawn from a melted tip of an optical-fiber preform. A glass spin is applied to a coated optical fiber by gripping the coated optical fiber with at least a pair of spinning applying rollers arranged in different levels with parallel rotation axes, rotating the spinning applying rollers so that the coated optical fiber is guided in a predetermined direction, and alternately shifting the spinning applying rollers in opposite directions along the rotation axes. The glass spin is applied to the coated optical fiber in a state in which each of the rotation axes is tilted at a predetermined angle from a plane perpendicular to the first direction.

    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for determining information regarding the result of introducing a rotational force on an optical fiber during manufacturing. A rotational deformation of the molten fiber, called spin, is imparted that becomes permanent upon cooling of the fiber. The rotational force also introduces twist on the cooled fiber, which is a non-permanent, mechanical rotation of the fiber. The system and method uses a diameter measuring device that produces a signal corresponding to the fiber's diameter with respect to time. Since the fiber is slightly elliptical in practice, periodic variations in the diameter measurement signal are detected that reflect the rotation imparted into the fiber. The signal is further processed to provide data regarding the effect of the rotations introduced into the fiber, namely the twist and spin present in the fiber.
