Patent number: 7591904Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a system and method for color-coating an optical fiber. The system includes a flow controller that controllably delivers and mixes color concentrate from one or more color concentrate reservoirs with a coating material, which colored coating material is fed to a coating die through which optical fiber passes. The color concentrate reservoirs are more compact and can be made portable along with the flow controller. Thus, the entire color coating system can travel to any appropriate location in the fiber manufacturing facility, e.g., at any one of a number of draw towers. Such portability allows many different colors to be used at the same draw tower much more easily than conventional arrangements, which typically only have one color line per draw tower. The method includes providing an optical fiber, controllably delivering color concentrate with a coating material to a coating die, coating the optical fiber with the coating die, and curing the coated fiber.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2004Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Fueukawa Electric North America, Inc.Inventors: Mark Bertz, Robert C.

Patent number: 7143611Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an optical fiber preform assembly and a method for making optical fiber using the preform assembly. The assembly includes a preform core rod, at least one overclad tube formed around the preform core rod, a handle attached to one end of the overclad tube, and a refractory material positioned in the overclad tube between the preform core rod and the handle. The refractory material reduces if not prevents movement of the preform core rod into the handle during the fiber draw process. Preferably, the refractory material is made of, e.g., magnesium oxide and/or aluminum oxide, and has a melting point, e.g., greater than approximately 2000 degrees Celsius. Embodiments of the invention also include a method for making optical fiber using this preform assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2003Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Fitel USA CorpInventors: Joseph P.

Publication number: 20040221617Abstract: Methods for modifying preform core ovality during and subsequent to the formation of an optical fiber preform. Prior to MCVD deposition on a starting tube, the outer diameter of the starting tube is altered by etching or a like process to modify its ovality. Additionally, after MCVD deposition forms the core rod, but prior to overcladding of the core rod, the code rod may be etched to change its ovality. Both methods may be used independently or in combination to modify the ovality and reduce PMD of optical fiber drawn from the core rod. An additional method includes etching the cladding material of a core rod having an oval or elliptical core such that the cladding material mirrors the shape of the oval core. During drawing, the perform created there from is placed under a surface tension, or pulled in a manner to generate a circular or near perfect circular optical fiber having desired ovality and low PMD.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2003Publication date: November 11, 2004Inventors: James William Fleming, Siu-Ping Hong, Paul Francis Glodis, Thomas John Miller, Zhi Zhou, David Kalish, Shunhe Xiong

Publication number: 20040065119Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for reducing end effect on a preform assembly during manufacture of optical fiber. The present invention provides apparatus and methods that apply a first vacuum pressure to a preform assembly during a first portion of the draw of optical fiber from the preform assembly and a second lesser vacuum pressure during a second portion of the draw. The second vacuum pressure may be a step down pressure or a gradual or an incremental decrease in pressure over time. The present invention further provides apparatus and methods that use an intermediate rod such as a dummy preform core rod and/or a support rod placed at the back of the preform core rod, wherein the preform end effect occurs on the dummy preform core rod, as opposed to the core rod of the preform assembly or is eliminated altogether by the support rod.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2002Publication date: April 8, 2004Applicant: Fitel U.S.A.

Publication number: 20040037521Abstract: The present invention provides coating methods for use in the manufacture of coated optical fibers. The coating methods of the present invention coat an optical fiber with a primary coating material that has a non-reactive colorant. A secondary coating material is applied over the primary coating material. The primary coating material may either be cured prior to application of the secondary coating material or both the primary and secondary coating materials may be cured at the same time to create primary and secondary coating layers over the optical fiber. In one embodiment, the secondary layer is formed of a substantially transparent material, visibly exposing the colored primary coating layer for inspection and/or measurement. The present invention further provides coated optical fibers made according to the coating methods of the present invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2002Publication date: February 26, 2004Inventors: Shunhe Xiong, Zhi Zhou, John Michael Turnipseed
