ABSTRACT:
Flexible coherent optical glass fiber bundles are manufactured from rigid coherent optical glass fiber bundles by selecting the fiber bonding agent to be an acid-leachable glass having a silica content in the range 8-15% molecular and removing acid-leachable glass from the rigid bundle by immersion of the bundle in a mineral acid leaching solution having a concentration in the range 5-30% by volume.
