Abstract
In the process for applying a protective plastic coating to a glass optical waveguide fiber by the application of a curable liquid coating material thereto and the subsequent curing of the liquid coating to a protective plastic layer, the surface of the glass optical fiber is conditioned prior to the application of the liquid coating material thereto by replacing air adjacent the fiber surface with a selected gas preferably exhibiting high solubility in the liquid coating composition and resisting bubble formation in the liquid coating layer as it is formed.
