METHODS FOR PRODUCING OPTICAL FIBERS

Methods for producing optical fibers along nonlinear paths include incorporating fluid bearings. An optical fiber is drawn from a preform along a first pathway, contacted with a region of fluid cushion of a fluid bearing, and redirected along a second pathway as the fiber is drawn across said region...

Zusammenfassung:	Methods for producing optical fibers along nonlinear paths include incorporating fluid bearings. An optical fiber is drawn from a preform along a first pathway, contacted with a region of fluid cushion of a fluid bearing, and redirected along a second pathway as the fiber is drawn across said region of fluid cushion. L'invention concerne des procédés destinés à produire des fibres optiques le long de trajets non-linéaires, comprenant l'incorporation de paliers fluides. Une fibre optique est amenée, à partir d'une préforme, le long d'un premier trajet, mise en en contact avec une zone de coussin fluide d'un palier fluide, et redirigée le long d'un second trajet lorsque la fibre est amenée à travers la zone de coussin fluide.
