What are Optical Fiber Curl and its importance? Optical fiber curl is a characteristic related to the glass geometry. It is defined as the amount of curvature over a specified length of uncoated fiber. Fiber curl results from thermal stresses during fiber manufacturing and thus needs to be measured and controlled closely.

Fiber curl (or bow) describes the inherent tendency of optical fibers to exhibit some degree of curvature when unrestrained. Fiber curl is measured by extending a short length of uncoated optical fiber beyond a restraining fixture and measuring the deflection from its horizontal axis.

Fiber curl describes the deviation from straightness of the fiber axis. Fibers in wood are straight.They be-come curly during pulping, mixing, and refining through exposure to bending and axial compressive stresses, particularly at medium and high consistencies.

Fiber curl describes a tendency of optical fiber to curve along their length when released from winding on a spool, which affects the splice quality. Fiber curl radius is defined as the radius of curvature.

Two common measures of fiber shape are curl and kink. Curl is the gradual and continuous curvature of a fiber and is defined by[2,5]: Curl Index = (L/l)-1. Kink is the abrupt (bend) change in the fiber curvature and is defined by Kibblewhite's Kink Index[4].

Curl is measured in meters of curl, with a typical specification being > 4m. When optical fiber comes out of the fiber draw, t is annealed during the manufacturing process to reduce the effects of curl. As a result of this process, for users of to
