Abstract:
The present invention concerns an optical fiber cable including a hydrogen-absorbing composition comprising a catalyst and a hydrogen-absorbing component, characterized in that said hydrogen-absorbing component is a mixture of a non-absorbing polymer matrix and a hydrogen-absorbing organic compound including at least one carbon-carbon triple bond.
Abstract:
An optical fiber comprises a silica multimode optical core having a refractive index n1 and at least one polymer optical cladding having a refractive index n2, with n1>n2. It further comprises a heterogeneous polymer intermediate optical cladding situated between the multimode core and the optical cladding and having a refractive index substantially equal to the refractive index n1 of the multimode core.
Abstract:
An optical fiber includes a primary covering layer, a secondary covering layer transparent to a laser beam, an intermediate covering layer less than 100 nm thick between the primary covering layer and the secondary covering layer and including a coloring element whose coloring properties can be modified by using the laser beam to irradiate the intermediate covering layer to write data.
