The Impact of Hydrogen on Optical Fibers
نویسنده
چکیده
The exposure of an optical fiber to hydrogen has the potential to change the fiber’s performance in several ways. The optical communications industry has been studying these changes for some time and has gained a great deal of knowledge regarding their various causes and effects. This white paper briefly describes some of the different ways that hydrogen can affect optical fibers and illustrates how these effects can play an important role in the overall performance of optical communications systems. Special discussion is given regarding the impact of hydrogen aging on reduced or low water peak fibers, where strict attention needs to be paid in order to ensure stable long-term performance.
