| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a curing oven for curing a material disposed on an object, such as an optical fiber ribbon, for example, disposed in the oven. The curing oven comprises a radiation source for emitting curing radiation and at least a first reflector that reflects curing radiation emitted by radiation source onto the object. The first reflector comprises a plurality of flat reflective segments that are arranged in a curved configuration. The arrangement of the reflective segments causes the radiation reflected by the reflector onto the object to be substantially uniformly distributed over at least a portion of the object, which results in better, more uniform curing of the exposed curing material, as well as other advantages.
