Method for producing optical fiber.

摘要

A method for producing an optical fiber which comprises steps of:
spinning an optical fiber from a molten preform for an optical fiber,
applying a UV-curable resin to the surface of the spun optical fiber, and
irradiating UV light through a layer of a material for absorbing UV light and a layer of a gas for preventing uncuring of the UV-curable resin to cure the UV-curable resin, by which the UV curable resin is homogeneously cured along its length.
