A manufacturing process of a microstructured optical fibre including a void-containing region, includes the steps of: drawing a microstructured optical fibre along a longitudinal direction from a heated preform, wherein the optical fibre is continuously advanced along the longitudinal direction; directing a radiation beam at a longitudinal position in the longitudinal direction of the optical fibre so as to produce an interference pattern; detecting the interference pattern and producing at least one electrical detection signal corresponding to the interference pattern and including a plurality of signal fringe cycles; feeding the first detection signal into a first counter circuit; determining a first number of interference fringe increments in the plurality of signal wave fringe cycles of the at least one detection signal by using the first counter circuit; determining the outer diameter of the optical fibre, and controlling the microstructure of the optical fibre during advancement of the optical fibre. The step of controlling includes at least one step selected from: (a) controlling the first number of interference fringe increments within a reference number range of reference numbers of interference fringe increments, and (b) calculating a microstructure length value.
摘要:
A method and a system based on the method imparts to an optical fiber a predetermined rotation about its axis, wherein the fiber is rotated by way of a frictional force acting on the fiber while it is advanced in a predetermined direction. The rotation actually imparted to the optical fiber is measured on-line while the fiber is advancing in the direction and the frictional force is controlled responsively to the measured rotation so as to obtain the predetermined rotation. Spinning devices acting on the optical fiber by way of an externally controllable frictional force and particularly suitable to be used with the method are disclosed.
