Abstract
Post-draw tower coating curing provides additional curing to an optical fiber coating after the fiber exits the bottom or output end of an optical fiber draw tower. A system may include a draw tower and a coating curing unit. The draw tower has at least one coating applicator. The coating curing unit may be located along a fiber path between the output end of the draw tower and a fiber takeup system.
