Abstract
A method of producing an optical-fiber ribbon includes applying bonding material to an expanded optical-fiber assembly and thereafter closing the spacing between the respective optical fibers in the expanded longitudinal optical-fiber assembly to achieve a contracted longitudinal optical-fiber assembly. The method achieves an optical-fiber ribbon having excellent flexibility, strength, and robustness.
