The research is focused on high speed coating of optical fibers, a step in the draw process that is critical to the quality and low cost fabrication of optical fibers for telecommunications and other applications. It involves four main aspects (a) modeling and simulation of the transport processes within coating applicator/die systems, (b) experimentation with a laboratory off-line system developed previously, allowing measurements with different operating conditions, (c) experimentation on a full-scale draw tower, and (d) measurement of specific properties (thickness, concentricity, integrity, presence of bubbles, etc) of coatings produced under controlled conditions. The models will be validated by experiments on the two facilities, particularly at large speeds. The dependence of coating characteristics on the operating conditions will be established. This approach will therefore provide a quantitative, systematic, and validated means to predict and control fiber-coating characteristics.

这项研究的重点是光纤的高速涂层，这是抽奖过程中的一步，对于电信和其他应用的光纤质量和低成本制造至关重要。 它涉及四个主要方面（a）对涂层施加器/模具系统中运输过程的建模和模拟，（b）先前开发的实验室离线系统实验，允许测量具有不同操作条件的测量，（c）在全尺度抽奖塔上进行实验，（d）对特定的特性（d）测量（d）构图（d）构图（d）构图（厚度，浓度，浓度，整体效果，涂层）的涂料，等涂层的涂料等。 这些模型将通过两个设施的实验来验证，尤其是在很大的速度下。 涂料特性对工作条件的依赖性将建立。 因此，这种方法将提供一种定量，系统和验证的手段，以预测和控制纤维涂层特征。
