Abstract
A method of producing an optical-fiber ribbon includes applying bonding material to a major surface of an optical-fiber assembly via a dispenser that is revolving around a central axis to bond adjacent optical fibers in the optical-fiber assembly. The method, which facilitates faster line speeds, achieves an optical-fiber ribbon with an adhesive bead that forms a distorted sinusoidal pattern substantially across the width of the optical-fiber assembly.
