Fiber Fuse Light-Induced Continuous Breakdown of Silica Glass Optical Fiber /

This book describes the fiber fuse phenomenon that causes a serious problem for the present optical communication systems. High-power light often brings about catastrophic damage to optical devices. Silica glass optical fibers with ultralow transmission loss are not the exception. A fiber fuse appea...
