<p>Coating an optical fiber comprises coating the fiber with a polymerizable composition comprising an ethylenically unsaturated compound and an oxidation catalyst, partially polymerizing the coating with UV radiation, and completing the polymerization by contacting the coated fiber with an oxidizing medium. Independent claims are also included for: (1) optical fiber with a polymerized coating produced as above, where the coating contains an oxidation catalyst; (2) telecommunications cable comprising at least one optical fiber as above.</p> |
