Method and device for the fabrication of an optical stripline

摘要

A plurality of optical fibres (LW1 - LW4) are guided next to one another through a coating device (BE) which surrounds them and which is fed a coating material (BM) which serves to enclose the optical fibres (LW1 - LW4). Both upstream of and in the coating device (BE), the optical fibres (LW1 to LW4) are guided running freely in such a way that they essentially come into contact only with the coating material (BM). Owing to the longitudinal movement of the optical fibres (LW1 - LW4), a towed (entrained) flow of the liquid coating material (BM) is produced which contributes to self-centring of the optical fibres (LW1 - LW4).
