Abstract :
In this paper, we have developed a time-resolved model that is able to describe the polymerization process of the monomer. This has allowed to simulate the build-up process in a complete 3D frame. When a drop of photosensitive monomer solution is deposited on top of a cleaved fiber end, the light issued from the fiber is able to make the monomer polymerize.
