Abstract

Influence of spin manufacturing process on properties of the spun single mode fiber is investigated, a unidirectional spinning preform during the drawing process. The drawing speed constant is 1 m/min. The results show that pitch of the spun fiber exists; that mode field diameter (MFD) is obviously smaller; that cutoff wavelength and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) are decreased significantly, and then the loss is increased significantly when the spun fiber pitch is lower than 1.5 mm. It is very important for the fiber-optic gyroscope and fiber-optic current sensors to optimize spinning design to obtain relatively good spun fibers.
