Abstract
A method for removing a coating (14) from a portion of optical fiber (11) including the steps of mechanically removing the coating (14) from two portions of fiber (16a, 16b) of predetermined length and spaced each other of a predetermined distance, and then immersing the portion of fiber (17) interposed between the two considered portions (16a, 16b) in a liquid solvent (28) so as to chemically remove the coating (14) thereof; the two portions of fiber (16a, 16b) from where the coating (14) has been mechanically removed are held only partially dipped in the liquid solvent (28), so that the liquid solvent (28) is prevented from reaching the portions of the fiber (18a, 18b) outside the liquid solvent (28) by capillary action through the coating.
