An insulation reviving and treatment apparatus and method includes an air tube with a first end and a second end and a hollow interior. An opening is provided in the first end and in the second end. A handle is attached to the second end where the handle includes a trigger. An air hose is connected to the handle and to a source of air such that operation of the trigger causes air to exit the opening in the first end. And a baffle is attached to the air tube.

Insulation reviving and treatment apparatus and method

Bend resistant multimode optical fibers are disclosed herein. Multimode optical fibers disclosed herein comprise a core region having a radius greater than 30 microns and a cladding region surrounding and directly adjacent to the core region, the cladding region comprising a depressed-index annular portion comprising a depressed relative refractive index. The fiber has a total outer diameter of less than 120 microns, and exhibits an overfilled bandwidth at 850 nm greater than 500 MHz-km.

High numerical aperture multimode optical fiber

An optical fiber comprising: (i) a core; (ii) a cladding surrounding the core; wherein the cladding comprises a cladding ring that: (a) has a width W equal to or less than 10 microns; (b) includes at least 50 airlines, each airline having a maximum diameter or a maximum width of not more than 2 microns and more than 50% of said airlines have a length of more than 20 m; (c) has an air fill fraction of 0.1% to 10%, and (d) has an inner radius Rand an outer radius R, wherein 6 &#x3bc;m&#x2266;R&#x2266;14 &#x3bc;m, and 8 &#x3bc;m&#x2266;R&#x2266;14 &#x3bc;m; and (iii) an outer cladding surrounding said cladding ring.

Optical fiber and a method for making such

The invention concerns a method and apparatus for producing a carbon coated optical fiber. An optical fiber is drawn through a reactor tube. Reactant gas is flowed into the tube and onto the fiber where it reacts to form a carbon coating on the fiber. The reactant gas and reaction products are flowed in the direction of movement of the fiber and out of an end of the tube and into a receiving chamber having a diameter larger than that of the reaction tube. The reactant gas continues to react as it flows through the tube and after it exits the tube. At least some of the reaction product deposit on the surface of the receiving chamber where it has no adverse effect on the draw process.
