Abstract :
The radiation-induced loss in optical fibres drawn at speeds of 120 to 860 m/min and at furnace temperatures of 2000 to 2255°C is examined. It is found that the loss decreases with increasing drawing speed and with decreasing furnace temperature, and is caused by drawing-induced defects.
