FIELD: optical fiber production; optical fiber bundles and the methods of the optical fiber bundles production. ^ SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the leached optical fiber bundle, which are used in endoscopes and for transmission of the optical signals, and the methods of the optical fiber bundles production. A set of the optical fiber blanks is gathered and drawn out into a bundle. Coat the ends of the drawn-out optical fiber bundle with a material resistant to the leaching reactant, place a mesh made out of the material resistant to the leaching reactant around the bundle of the fusion-spliced optical fibers. Then dip the bundle in a tank for leaching and leach it to ensure pliability of the optical fiber bundle. On free optical fibers of the bundle located in its middle apply an anti-frictional powder. The ends of the bundle can be protected by sleeves against the leaching liquid being in the tank. The technical result of the invention is the minimization of the damage inflicted on the optical fibers and the bundle during their treatment. ^ EFFECT: the invention ensures minimization of the damage inflicted on the optical fibers and the bundle during their treatment. ^ 13 cl, 7 dwg |
