Abstract

See full text

A UVLED apparatus and a related method provide increased UVLED intensity to promote efficient curing of a coated glass fiber. The apparatus employs a plurality of UVLED sources, each UVLED source emitting an oscillating output of ultraviolet radiation. Typically, at least two of the UVLED sources have oscillating outputs of ultraviolet radiation that are out of phase with one another. During curing, an incompletely cured coating on a glass fiber absorbs electromagnetic radiation emitted from the UVLED sources.
