Abstract

Confident estimation of the lifetime of fibers in different service conditions requires the accumulation of a considerable body of measurement data. One must first define the expected worst-case service conditions with respect to the environment, and then test in these conditions. An experimental program aimed at defining the effects of adverse environments in achieving long service lifetime of optical fibers in tension and bending configurations was conducted. Both static fatigue & dynamic fatigue data were taken and analyzed for commercially available optical fibers. The fibers were tested in 85° C and relative humidities of 45% & 94% for bending and in 23° C and humidities of 45% & 90% for tension applications. The resulting parameters were compared with each other and were shown how they may be utilized for lifetime prediction.
