Abstract
Important, yet previously overlooked, anomalous optical fiber refractive index changes result from frozen-in viscoelastic strains, which are distinct from residual elastic strains. These index changes affect fiber design, measurement, and splicing, and can be harnessed to serve as the basis for novel fiber devices.
