An optical fiber manufacturing method includes a first process of passing a glass fiber through a fiber path. The fiber path is formed through a cooling tube that is housed in a first casing. The method also includes a second process of leading the glass fiber into a second casing before leading into the first casing. The first process includes supplying a first dry gas, having a dew point lower than the temperature of the cooling tube, into a first dry space formed between the first casing and the cooling tube. The second process includes supplying a second dry gas into a second dry space formed inside the second casing so as to cause air pressure in the second dry space to be higher than air pressure in an external space. The dew point of the second dry gas is lower than the dew point in the external space.

A visible-light-photocatalyzed composite light-transmitting concrete contains several bundles of optical fibers, the optical fibers are coated with a protective layer on their outer surface, the protective layer contains a visible light photocatalyst, and the concrete has several gas-permeable pores. Such concrete is prepared by mixing a visible light photocatalyst and a light-transmitting glue, applying the mixture to the surface of optical fibers to form a protective layer, and using optical fibers in the concrete. The resulting concrete has dual properties of light transmittance and photocatalytic oxidation of gas-phase pollutants under visible light irradiation. The visible-light-photocatalyzed composite light-transmitting concrete significantly breaks through the limitation of photocatalytic concrete to light sources, so that gas-phase pollutants can be removed under visible light irradiation through photocatalysis of light-transmitting concrete. It also has good mechanical properties, decorativeness, and functional practicability due to coated optical fibers.

A method for producing an optical fiber coated with a UV-curable resin material around a glass fiber includes: a step of applying the UV-curable resin material to the periphery of the glass fiber; a step of passing the glass fiber coated with the UV-curable resin material through an interior of a cylindrical body (illustrated with a quartz tube) capable of transmitting UV light; a step of irradiating UV light from outside the cylindrical body by using a light source (illustrated with a UV bulb) to cure the glass fiber and form a coating; and a step of controlling (illustrated with a power controller) a power input to the light source so that a cure extent of the coating is constant based on the illuminance of the UV light from the light source and the illuminance of the UV light transmitted through the cylindrical body.
