  • Abstract
    Limiting factors in the high-rate production of optical fibres are the cooling rate of the glass after drawing and air trapping in the coating. Experiments have proved the possibility of drawing and coating optical fibres at a rate of at least 750 m/min without any bubble formation in the coating. This was realised in a short drawing tower.
