Design of annealing furnace to lower the attenuation in optical fiber

An annealing furnace design has been proposed to lower the attenuation of optical fiber by lowering its fictive temperature during the fiber draw process.The fictive temperature of Germania-doped single mode o fiber lies in the range of 1150~1300 C and this can be tailored by controlling the cool...

Viscous stress during coating application in optical fiber

The wet primary coating has been applied on the surface of optical fiber during the draw process to lower the micro-bend induced attenuation.The viscous stress is induced on the surface of fiber during the coating application due to use of high viscous coating material and drawn in high speed. Th...

Measurement Of Multipth Interference For Bend Insensitive Fibers: Broadband Source/Osa Technique

We investigated the multipath interference (MPI) characteristics of short length bend insensitive optical fibers using broadband source/OSA technique. It is found that MPI is negligible for fibers with lengths as short as 2 m with worst case splice conditions. As the fiber reaches near or into ho...
