  • Abstract
    The rate of increase in loss in single-mode optical fibres exposed to hydrogen at temperatures up to 150°C has been determined. Extrapolation down to ambient temperature of effects other than that due to interstitial hydrogen indicates that slow long-term loss increments at 1310 nm will remain less than 0.02 dB/km after 25 yr at 20°C in one atmosphere of hydrogen.
