Abstract
The transient microbending loss and refractive index changes in a double-coated optical fiber subjected to thermal loading with stress-dependent interlayer thermal contact resistance is investigated. The effects of interlayer thermal resistance on the transient microbending loss and refractive index changes of the optical fiber are analyzed and discussed. The results show that the stress-dependent interlayer thermal contact resistance will increase the lateral pressure induced by the transient thermal loading in the double-coated optical fiber and, thus, the microbending loss. Similarly, the interlayer thermal contact resistance will increase the transient thermal loading induced refractive index changes in the beginning of loading.
