摘要： Applicants have discovered an apparatus and method effective for use in rendering an optical fiber resistant to losses caused by high-radiation environments such as in outerspace. The apparatus comprises an optical fiber, a housing surrounding the optical fiber defining an enclosed space between the exterior surface of the fiber and the housing, and a concentration of deuterium or hydrogen gases disposed within the enclosed space.
