ABSTRACT:
A process for manufacturing an optical fiber includes the steps of heating and drawing material from a hot optical fiber preform; depositing a conductive coating (especially carbon) on the moving optical fiber; putting a heat curable liquid material on the moving optical fiber; and curing the heat curable liquid material by inductively heating the conductive coating on the moving optical fiber in an electromagnetic field. Heat induced into the conductive coating by energy from the field is conducted from the conductive coating to the heat curable material. The optical fiber continuously moves through the steps of the process without any physical contact.
