Anomalous refractive index changes in optical fibers resulting from frozen-in viscoelastic strain

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Important, yet previously overlooked, anomalous optical fiber refractive index changes result from frozen-in viscoelastic strains, which are distinct from residual elastic strains. These index changes affect fiber design, measurement, and splicing, and can be harnessed to serve as the basis for novel fiber devices.
