Abstract
A method for reducing the hydrogen sensitivity of an optical fiber is disclosed. The method includes a deuterium treatment step of exposing an optical fiber to a gas mixture including a deuterium, so that the optical fiber makes a contact with the deuterium, and a degassing step of degassing the optical fiber treated with the deuterium under a negative pressure condition.
Claims6
A method for reducing a hydrogen sensitivity of an optical fiber, the method comprising the steps of:
- i) exposing the optical fiber to a gas mixture including a deuterium to enable the optical fiber to make a contact with the deuterium;
- and,
- ii) degassing the optical fiber treated with the deuterium under a negative pressure condition for a period of 4 to 5 days.
