UV processing has been a fundamental process in optical fiber, ribbon and cable manufacturing. Steady advances are being made in UV technology for manufacturing. The physical properties of UV cured materials are substantially affected by the larmp systems used to cure thern. The development of the intended physical properties, whether a primary coating. secondary coating. up-jacketing, coloring, or ribbon matrix, can depend on how well these lamp systms are designed and managed. Practical keys are suggested that will facilitate ananalytical approach to process optimization and monitoring.
