Fracture analysis of optical fibers
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5623607
The fracture markings on glass optical fiber surfaces are quantitatively related to the strength and time under load. Knowledge of the fracture-initiating defects and the surrounding topography pinpoints the source of failure, aids in troubleshooting, and improves production procedures. It is shown that the techniques of fracture surface analysis help analyze in-service failures as well as improve fiber optic production control.
