Abstract :
The optical loss change caused by hydraulic pressure in a multimode plastic-coated fibre with a buffer layer was examined. The relationship between loss change and fibre dimensions was found. A large-outer-diameter fibre exhibits a small change in the optical loss caused by hydraulic pressure.
