Abstract
Much work has been done on clarifying the mechanism of loss increment caused by hydrogen diffusion which has an adverse effect on the long-term reliability of optical communication systems. Recently, optical absorption was found1 at 1.52 μm influencing the transparency at 1.55 μm where single-mode fibers are operated. Here the cause of this absorption is discussed.
