Abstract :
By conducting high-tensile proof tests on optical fibers in order to eliminate weak points such as cracks or flaws, fiber strength is improved, but fiber length becomes shorter because of fiber breakage during proof tests. When the application is for submarine optical-fiber on cables, the upper limit of proof-test strain is determined based on theoretical and experimental studies on fiber strength and fiber length after proof tests.
