    Abstract: Apparatus for removing contaminants from the surface of a glass optical waveguide fiber and thereafter treating the fiber while preventing the surface from being recontaminated. Contaminants are removed from the surface by subjecting the waveguide to means for bombarding the surface thereof with ions having sufficient energy to remove a surface layer from the fiber. The cleaned fiber may be immediately heat treated to improve the light transmission properties thereof, or it may be coated to prevent recontamination of the surface prior to heat treatment to which the coated fiber may thereafter be subjected.

    Abstract translation: 用于从玻璃光波导纤维的表面除去污染物,然后处理纤维同时防止表面被再污染的装置。 通过使波导通过使具有足够能量的离子轰击其表面的装置从纤维中除去表面层,从表面除去污染物。 清洁的纤维可以立即进行热处理以改善其透光性能,或者可以涂覆以防止在此后经受涂覆的纤维的热处理之前表面的再污染。
