Abstract
A high-speed optical fibre coating technique using thermally curable silicone resin was studied. By developing a pressurised die, a smooth coating layer, more than 100 μm thick, can be successfully achieved at a coating speed of 360 m/min. The coating thickness can also be controlled by adjusting the pressure in the die.Keywords
