    摘要: A method of marking an optical fiber includes forming an ink stream, moving an optical fiber over a fiber path adjacent the ink stream, and intermittently deflecting the ink stream with a gas jet so that the optical fiber at least partially enters the deflected ink stream so that the ink from the deflected ink stream forms spaced apart marks on the optical fiber outer surface. An optical fiber marking apparatus is also disclosed that includes payout and take modules that move the optical fiber over the fiber path, a marking unit configured to form an ink stream adjacent the fiber path, and an ink stream deflection device that causes the ink stream to deflect and overlap the fiber path so that ink from the ink stream forms spaced apart marks on the outer surface of the optical fiber.

    摘要: A UVLED apparatus (and related system and method) provide efficient curing of an optical-fiber coating on a drawn glass fiber. The apparatus employs one or more UVLEDs that emit electromagnetic radiation into a curing space. An incompletely cured optical-fiber coating, which is formed upon a glass fiber, absorbs emitted and reflected electromagnetic radiation to promote efficient curing.

    摘要: A device for UV curing a coating or printed ink on a workpiece such as an optical fiber comprises dual elliptical reflectors arranged to have a co-located focus. The workpiece is centered at the co-located focus such that the dual elliptical reflectors are disposed on opposing sides of the workpiece. Two separate light sources are positioned at a second focus of each elliptical reflector, wherein light irradiated from the light sources is substantially concentrated onto the surface of the workpiece at the co-located focus.

    摘要: There is provided an enameled flat wire, in which a flat wire conductor having a rectangular cross section composed of four flat surfaces and four rounded corners has an enamel coating with a predetermined thickness for electrical insulation. In the enameled flat wire, a difference in a thickness of the enamel coating on the flat surfaces between a maximum thickness and a minimum thickness is equal to or less than 25% of the predetermined thickness.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing an optical fiber, comprises applying a UV cured resin to an outer circumference of a running glass optical fiber, forming an accompanying flow composed of an inert gas near a surface of the resin by passing the glass optical fiber immediately after having the resin being applied through an atmosphere of the inert gas, and forming a coating by irradiating the resin coated with the accompanying flow with ultraviolet ray to cure the resin while the glass optical fiber accompanied by the accompanying flow is passed through a UV transmission tube to which a gas containing oxygen is supplied.
