Abstract
A system and method are provided for stripping one or more optical fibers having multiple coatings, accomplished with multiple stripping steps or passes. As an example, each coating may be stripped relatively independently. Such stripping may be accomplished with multiple bursts of a fluid or gas heated to a temperature sufficient to remove the coating.
