Abstract

Knowledge of optical fibers and fiber devices ageing is one of necessary conditions for successful applications of fiber communication systems into hard environmental surrounding and for application of fiber sensors. This paper deals with finding of typical ageing markers during the process of accelerated ageing. Basic fiber parameters as the attenuation, NA, Brillouin frequencies have been measured under higher temperature and fiber attenuation has been measured for gamma loading.
