Abstract
A method of marring a fiber optic substrate by directing a water jet abrasive slurry at the substrate while causing relative movement between an elongate support for the substrate and the water jet abrasive slurry to produce a marring pattern on the substrate. The pressure of the water jet abrasive slurry and/or the rate of relative movement between the elongate support and the water jet abrasive slurry may be varied to produce a variable marring pattern on the substrate.
Claims15
A method of marring a fiber optic substrate comprising the steps of supporting a length of the substrate on an elongate support, and directing a water jet abrasive slurry at the substrate while causing relative movement between the elongate support and the water jet abrasive slurry to produce a marring pattern on the substrate.
