Abstract :
This paper consists of two parts - the review and the extension. The review part deals primarily with the mechanical behavior of the existing polymer coated fiber optics structures subjected to thermally induced and/or mechanical loading in bending, tension, compression, or to various combinations of such loadings. The extension part of the article addresses a possible new generation of optical fiber coatings and deals with the application of nano-particle materials (NPMs) as an attractive and promising substitute for the existing optical fiber coatings.
