Abstract
The invention relates to a method of coating an optical fiber, the method comprising the following steps: applying a polymerizable coating material to the surface of the optical fiber; and polymerizing said material to obtain a coating. In the method, the optical fiber prior to application of said material is raised to a value T determining the value T' of the temperature at which said material polymerizes.
