Latest Patents
Ouali's latest patents include an innovative coating for optical fibers. This invention describes a dimensionally precise and uniform coating with low porosity. The coating is applied through a sputtering process within a vacuum chamber. During this process, environmental conditions are closely monitored within a cylindrical magnetron. Sputtering is adjusted or temporarily halted when these conditions approach a damage threshold. The sputtered particles within a plasma cloud are dimensionally similar and adhere to the optical fiber in a volume-efficient arrangement. This results in a more precise, denser, and more adherent coating. The embodiments of this invention provide improved pull strength by compressively constraining the optical fiber within the coating and by closing microcracks.
