Abstract

Optimum conditions of the laser power P and the scan speed V were investigated experimentally so as to burn and remove the jacket of a 4-fiber ribbon completely by a system with a CO2 laser. It has been clarified that the optimum region can be given by 3 lines, which represent 2 lower limits of the laser power, depending on the scan speed, and an upper limit of the laser power to avoid soot from remaining on the fibers at high laser power region. The optimum conditions enable us to remove the jacket effectively by the system to provide excess-fiber-free compact packaging of optical components.
