Abstract
It has recently been discovered that hydrogen affects the transmission performance of silica fiber, and many studies have been done to clarify the source of hydrogen in cable, diffusion of hydrogen into silica fiber, and the reaction mechanism forming various hydroxyl species. Long-term reliability of optical fiber cable affected by hydrogen is reviewed in this paper.
