Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber winding method capable of eliminating the winding tension and the mutual lateral pressure of an optical fiber wound around a bobbin over entire length. SOLUTION: A round bar type spacer 5 is detachably inserted in the takeup drum 2 of a winding bobbin 1 along a surface winding axis, and an optical fiber F is wound around the takeup drum 2, with the spacer 5 inserted. After winding the optical fiber F, the spacer 5 is pulled out, thereby reducing the winding diameter of the optical fiber F. Furthermore, a vibration is applied to the whole of the bobbin 1 with an ultrasonic vibrator 7, thereby eliminating winding tension and lateral pressure over the entire length of the optical fiber F wound around the bobbin 1.

2. Description of the Related Art To draw an optical fiber, a base material mainly composed of quartz glass is heated and melted and dropped into a bare optical fiber having a required small diameter. It is provided with a coating layer and wound on a take-up bobbin of a drawing machine. Thereafter, the optical fiber wound around the take-up bobbin is usually wound around a winding machine, and is wound from the take-up bobbin of the wire drawing machine to a required take-up bobbin for each required length. For those wound bobbins that are shipped as optical fiber products, characteristic tests such as transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, and polarization mode dispersion of the optical fiber are performed for each winding bobbin. For the representative bobbin of these winding bobbin lots which are sent to the next process, such as those described above, characteristic tests such as transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, and polarization mode dispersion of the optical fiber are performed.

[0003] Usually, a long optical fiber of several tens of meters to several tens of kilometers is wound on a winding bobbin in several layers, and the wound optical fiber has a tension at the time of winding and an adjacent optical fiber. The side pressure between the optical fibers is in a state of being applied. An optical fiber under tension or side pressure greatly affects optical characteristics such as transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, and polarization mode dispersion, and the optical fiber is proportional to the magnitude of the tension and side pressure applied to the optical fiber. Transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, polarization mode dispersion and the like increase. Therefore, an optical fiber wound around a normal winding bobbin has increased transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, polarization mode dispersion, and the like.

For this reason, conventionally, when measuring the transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, etc. of a bobbin wound optical fiber,
In order to eliminate measurement errors, a method has been adopted in which measurement is performed after the tension and the side pressure are reduced. As a method of reducing the tension and the side pressure of the optical fiber for this measurement, a method of reducing the tension and the side pressure by holding the optical fiber from the bobbin winding, or reducing or cooling the inside of the bobbin winding drum to reduce the diameter of the winding drum There has been a method in which an optical fiber is wound around a measuring bobbin that is made contractible, and the tension and side pressure of the optical fiber are reduced by reducing the diameter of the winding drum. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-59139 is disclosed as the related art. However, the former method of grasping an optical fiber may impair the reliability of the optical fiber, and it cannot be shipped as a product or sent to the next process as it is. There was a problem in handling, such as a bad luck. Further, the latter method of reducing the tension and the side pressure of the optical fiber is not a method applicable to all winding bobbins, but is applied to the optical fiber of the representative bobbin in the lot of the normal winding bobbin wound with the optical fiber. For measuring transmission loss, etc., it is a means to change from a normal bobbin to a dedicated bobbin to reduce the tension and side pressure of the optical fiber of this dedicated bobbin. Needed a complicated mechanism for. In any case, each of the above methods is a means for reducing the tension and the side pressure of the optical fiber only for the purpose of measuring the transmission loss. It was not a means to provide fiber.

The winding bobbin 1 described above is effective in eliminating the winding tension and side pressure of the optical fiber when the winding layer of the optical fiber is relatively small. But,
When a long optical fiber is wound in multiple layers, the tension and lateral pressure of the optical fiber in the inner layer are eliminated, but the effect of eliminating the tension and lateral pressure of the optical fiber is reduced toward the outer layer, and over the entire length of the optical fiber. However, there is a drawback that it is difficult to eliminate the tension and the side pressure. This is because, due to the slipperiness of the optical fiber surface, even if the winding diameter is reduced by pulling out the round bar spacer, the slack movement of the optical fiber does not extend over the entire length due to the frictional force between the optical fibers in each winding layer. is there. Therefore,
This tendency was remarkable in an optical fiber having lower surface slipperiness.

According to the optical fiber winding method of the present invention, after the optical fiber is wound around the bobbin winding body with the round bar spacer attached, the round bar spacer is removed from the bobbin to reduce the winding diameter of the optical fiber. By reducing the size, the tension and side pressure of the optical fiber in the bobbin inner layer are eliminated. Then, by further applying ultrasonic vibration to the entire winding bobbin, the optical fibers of each winding layer move in the direction of reducing the winding diameter by overcoming the frictional force of the optical fibers. As a result, the tension and the side pressure over the entire length of the optical fiber are uniformly eliminated. As described above, according to the present invention, the tension and the side pressure can be easily eliminated for the optical fibers of all the winding bobbins, and the originally excellent characteristics such as transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, and polarization mode dispersion can be obtained. The optical fiber can be manufactured and provided in a state having the following. Therefore, characteristics such as transmission loss, polarization dependent loss, and polarization mode dispersion can be accurately measured for the optical fibers of all the winding bobbins.
