This manuscript aims to investigate the use of 3D-printed dies to improve the quality of Microstructured Optical Fibers (MOFs) extruded preforms. Therefore, two compensation procedures are introduced to adjust the geometry of the die based on the different deformation aspects of the preform. The first method, the direct method, is based on a conventional approach to adjusting the die geometry. The second method, the indirect method, compensates for each aspect of deformation separately. Using quality tools from literature (Disjoint Area Percentage (DAP), Distance Standard Deviation (DSD)), the direct method achieved a reduction of up to 13% and 5.66% in drift and distortion respectively slightly outperforming the indirect method. These outcomes highlight the potential of this compensation procedure to enhance fiber quality, minimize signal loss, and optimize manufacturing processes, with promising implications for applications in telecommunications and fiber optics technology.

摘要

This manuscript aims to investigate the use of 3D-printed dies to improve the quality of Microstructured Optical Fibers (MOFs) extruded preforms. Therefore, two compensation procedures are introduced to adjust the geometry of the die based on the different deformation aspects of the preform. The first method, the direct method, is based on a conventional approach to adjusting the die geometry. The second method, the indirect method, compensates for each aspect of deformation separately. Using quality tools from literature (Disjoint Area Percentage (DAP), Distance Standard Deviation (DSD)), the direct method achieved a reduction of up to 13% and 5.66% in drift and distortion respectively slightly outperforming the indirect method. These outcomes highlight the potential of this compensation procedure to enhance fiber quality, minimize signal loss, and optimize manufacturing processes, with promising implications for applications in telecommunications and fiber optics technology.
