Abstract
The performance properties of optical fibers, e.g., transmission losses and strength, are strongly influenced by the fiber drawing, coating, and jacketing processes and by the coating and Jacketing materials used. Also the cost reduction of optical fibers requires the speedup of these processes and the use of inexpensive coating and jacketing materials together with the speedup of fiber preform production.
