Abstract
Optical fibre probes made by manually operated hot-melt-drawn methods may have unreliable production quality. This can result in unreliable results during use of the probes. This article presents a theoretical model for the construction of optical fibre probes by a hot-melt-drawn method, intending to simulate the optical fibre melt-drawing process using the P-2000 Sutter melt-drawing installation, and investigates changes in length, radius, and geometric profile of the optical fibre. Using preset processing parameters, the study simulates the profile, size, and shape of an optical fibre probe, and the geometric shape and diameter of the probe tip. Additionally, the article presents an analysis of fabrication parameters to determine which of the three processing parameters, probe diameter, melt-drawing rate, and hard-drawn value, is most significant in determining the length and profile of a simulation model probe.
