Systems and methods for automatic and continuous coating supply during optical fiber production

Systems and methods are disclosed for an automatic and continuous supply of coating material to a coating applicator in optical fiber fabrication. The present invention switches from one coating reservoir to another by way of a transitional period in which both coating reservoirs are supplying coating material to the coating applicator. For example, while an in-use reservoir is supplying the coating material to the coating applicator, a standby reservoir is being filled, settled to off gas air bubbles and then slowly pressurized. A sized orifice is used to slowly bleed off pressure from the in-use reservoir at a rate that does not allow the pressure in the in-use reservoir from falling out of a desired pressure range. When the in-use reservoir is substantially emptied of coating material and the pressures in both reservoirs are substantially equalized, then both reservoirs simultaneously supply coating material to the coating applicator for a period of time before switching completely over to the standby reservoir.

Conditioned launch of a single mode light source into a multimode optical fiber

An optical coupling system and method are provided for coupling light from a single mode laser (SML) light source into an MMF that reduce back reflection of laser light into the SML light source and provide controlled launch conditions that allow the light to avoid defective areas in the MMF as the light travels in the MMF. The launch conditions are controlled to cause preselected spatial intensity distribution patterns to be launched into the MMF that result in the laser light avoiding defective areas in the MMF as the laser light passes through the MMF. The combination of all of these features allows greater link bandwidth and link length to be achieved with an MMF without increasing transceiver packaging complexity. In addition, because the preselected spatial intensity distributions allow the light to avoid particular areas in the fiber that are likely to contain defects, fiber manufacturers can focus less on reducing defects in those areas and focus more on optimization of performance parameters.
