Title :
Accelerated testing of liquid crystal components for use in optical networking devices
Author_Institution :
Corning Inc., NY, USA
Abstract :
Liquid crystal components developed for optical networking devices were exposed to accelerated environments. These components survived the equivalent of 22dBm/channel. Contrast ratio was stable at the 40dB level after 1250 hours of 85/85 exposure.
