The effect of polymeric coatings on the static fatigue of tightly jacketed double-coated optical fibers

Silica optical fiber behavior under X-rays and microwaves

“…Initial strength decreases versus time when the fiber is subject to stress corrosion, or more simply, under permanent stress in a humid environment. This phenomenon has been extensively studied in silica fibers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
