  • Abstract
    The influence of impurities on hydrogen-induced OH loss increase and radiation-induced loss increase is examined in GeO2-doped SiO2 fibres with a synthetic SiO2 clad. Fibres contaminated by both aluminium and sodium ions show loss increases as great as fibres with a natural SiO2 clad.
